Welcome to an entanglement of Celtic stone and exploring vines, where it is impossible to tell where the village ends and nature begins. A kingdom which is very much in touch with nature, now more than ever.

This time, we visit the merged villages of Bakus and Garsia and the people who live here. Whether it is the brave huntress Madeira, Merlin’s Tower or Barry the Blacksmith, they all have stories to tell, about their ventures in the kingdom. This is a welcoming kingdom - but beware, for it is also cursed and crooked!

The city of Bakus, with its name originating from a village founded by master bakers, is a place where tiny legends master their crafts. The village of little, half-timbered houses quickly became popular and other masters settled in the village to expand on their various talents and to explore the mythical forests around it.

The vast majority of creature designs are unique in the two editions of The Cursed & The Crooked. Combined, the two decks feature a total of 20 different fantasy characters, all richly illustrated with many details. Some are mischievous and dangerous, while others are friendly or even helpful. Everything is alive in the kingdom of The Cursed and The Crooked. The trees, the rivers, the birds and the bees… It will be up to you to judge which creature you’ll want to avoid and which creature you’ll want to guide you. The tucks are manufactured with special colored ‘soft touch’ stocks for a matte look and feel, contrasting the richly embossed metallic foils and extravagant artwork on all sides of the tuck case.

The tuck seals of The Cursed & The Crooked are true standouts, designed in a horisontal sticker format, each featuring the unique number for every deck made. To add to the originality, these seals are going to be positioned at the tuck bottoms. The Cursed edition card backs have a two-way design, richly detailed with folklorish floral ornamentation and ever staring eyes from the depths of the forest.
