Tails of Mischief is a limited-edition, full-bleed, art poker playing card deck that uses the canvas to tell a story. Inspired by Japanese ukiyoe wood-block printing, historical culture, and Buddhist and Taoist philosophies, it tells the story of four mischiefs of mice that each approach nature from a different perspective.

Each of the four versions has its own custom tuck box and custom back. The faces depict the same scene, but from each mischief's differing perspective, with different seasonal details, special court colouring, and completely unique tens and jokers.

The Whey of the Woods is rooted in acceptance - that there is a natural flow and it is our own nature to scuttle and fall with it. The spirits of the forest guide their scouts, the flow of the whey pulls their hunters’ bow-strings.

The wood mice dance with the winds of autumn. Buried deep within the forest Burrow, an underground labyrinthian village, pups and elders nestle away stockpiles of acorns - assuming the Jays don't pinch them first.

But persistent field mice cut into their borders at the behest of the arrogant house, and Ryuku mice travel and hunt unfettered.

The Burrow must rise, will you help protect the forest?

Was a Kickstarter Campaign. A puzzle journey through playing cards. Lonelyjokers.com The concept: “The Cartographer has awakened … in a small fishing village along the shore of an unknown body of water. Though he does not remember where he is, or even WHO he is (for that matter), he knows that he has been on a tremendous journey — many, many days and nights of travels all over the globe. His hand automatically goes to his right front pocket, but he finds nothing there, and his heart hammers in his chest at the discovery. Where is my compass?! he thinks frantically. He swings to the left and checks that pocket, and finds a lump, which he hurriedly pulls out into the light. It is a deck of well-worn playing cards — his hand-written scribbles on the faces and compass headings on the back. As the Cartographer puzzles over the deck, he finds the Ace of Spades which indicates that “your journey begins here” on the face — and in the background of the card is a map of Mexico City, Mexico. ”This is where I started?” he asks himself, still feeling fuzzy about his past. There is writing along the border of the card, and as he reads it, he understands — he has left himself clues as to the path of his journey — each card in the deck leading to another until he finds his final destination. When he flips the card to review the back, he instinctively understands the markings and needle, and understands that this, too, will lead him through the steps of his journey." And now, it is up to you! Follow the cartographer's notes, riddles, and clues — follow the path of his travels around the globe and discover the exact path taken. And when you have come to the last card, you will know where the compass was lost, and where the cartographer finds himself at the beginning of our story.
