Pre 1995 Harold's Club, also spelled Harolds Club, was a casino in Downtown Reno, Nevada that was established in 1935. The casino closed in 1995 and the building was demolished in 1999. Harold's Club casino was established in 1935 by Harold S. Smith Sr. (1910-1985) and his brother, Raymond A. Smith. Soon afterwards, their father, Raymond I. ("Pappy") Smith (1887-1967), was appointed general manager and became the public face of the casino. The casino expanded by buying adjacent Virginia Street properties. Harold's Club constructed a seven-story building as part of the casino, but never had a hotel on the property. Pappy Smith developed a marketing campaign that made the casino famous, using more than two thousand billboards across the United States advertising "Harold's Club or Bust", often written on a Conestoga wagon.(By the 1970s, most of the billboards had been taken down because of the Highway Beautification Act.) Harold's Club was sold to Howard Hughes' Summa Corporation in 1970 for $11.5 million. In December 1994, the casino was sold to Gamma International Ltd. and closed three months later. The casino was then sold to Harrah's Reno in 1999 and demolished. The property is now an outdoor plaza for concerts and special events. The casino building had an American Bandstand restaurant and nightclub for 8 years during the 1990s. Harold's Club was the target of a casino heist in the 1955 feature film 5 Against the House. A large 70 by 35 foot mural of Old West pioneer settlers that was displayed in front of the casino is now on display at the Reno Livestock Events Center, about 2 miles from the old casino location. The mural was designed by Theodore McFallon and constructed by Sargent Claude Johnson.

Thalassic unfolds the old, Oceanic tale of the Green Galleon, an enormous ship loaded with gold and rare, blue sapphires, that sank in shark territory, off the coast of the Blue Lagoon. On this tropical island, the most extraordinary peacocks are spotted with gold coins in their beaks, shaping rumors that making friends with these exotic birds is the only way to navigate towards the endless riches. Many have tried, all have failed. There's even a port pub that has been raised and named on the mysterious legends of the sunken treasure. Here, experienced sailors gather to share secrets of it's existence and location. In Thalassic, four naval crews are about to embark on an adventure far greater than the ocean itself. What awaits ahead is a mystery and journey even richer than the treasure they all set out to find!

Thalassic is my latest and greatest playing cards project once again in collaboration with talented artist Martin Helgren. A whole new theme and tale, told with two completely unique editions - my first ever metallic gilded blue/green decks - produced with many exquisite features of refined elegance and with intricate illustrations. Do not wait - adventures await those who dare to board the ships!

Green Galleon features green color scheme deck. The tuck features the mythic ship's deck and the swimming sharks with treasure at the bottom of the sea. The cards feature minimized artworks on the front side and two-way courts. The back design is a two-way, bordered artworks of the ship and feathers. Also, the cards are gilded in emerald green.
