What began as a cool design with vibrant colors for a t-shirt somehow took on a life of its own and evolved into a full deck of playing cards! What's even cooler about this deck is that it was designed with the help of two awesome communities, r/Octopus and r/Pirates on Reddit. The skull and his eight tentacled friend (Bert...lets just call him Bert) was so well received in these communities that together we created Dark Tides. The number cards are now two-way and features different aquatic animals to make the cards easier to play with. The Aces features large central pips. The Jokers: The stars of the deck feature the image responsible for bringing these cards to life! The court cards feature 4 unique and creative King, Queen and Jack designs.

Funded as a Kickstarter project on September 02 2022 with €4 010 (Goal: €3 750) pledged from 144 backers. The deck started as concept art, but after receiving positive feedback on design platforms they decided to make a Kickstarter out of it. The 2 people behind the Kickstarter are Ruben Albrecht & Dinand van der Graaf https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/rubenalbrecht31/abstract-playing-cards-O/description

The rare UNBROKEN series was launched by Seasons Playing Cards in a unique mystery deck sale. This was an experimental launch based around the premise that each deck would be unique in its own way. Only 250 “experiments” were produced in this extremely labor intensive project. Each piece is signified by a holographic seal featuring the Seasons logo featuring an ‘X’ indicating the eXperimental series along with a ‘1 of 1’.

This deck is printed with a unique soft non-gloss finish showcasing the design below along with a shimmering silver foil that showcases the cracks and repairs of the deck. The cards inside feature an animated blooming back design that when flipped will show the logo flowering and closing with the different seasons. The deck gilding is made to match the tuck. The two piece Jokers showcase a piece of the card falling off with the repair paint revealing a ‘J’ to complete the Joker titling. The AoS follows similar in suit with a “broken” face revealing the spade shape with a custom pattern to match the back design and the ‘Experimental Series’ tag below.
