Namaste and welcome to Joker and the Thief’s campaign for Psychonauts Playing Cards, our next big custom deck! What is a Psychonaut? - From the Greek “Psyche” meaning soul. And “Nautes” meaning sailor. A psychonaut explores the subconscious mind via altered states of consciousness. Typically induced by meditation, psychedelic substances, or holotropic breathing techniques. A psychonaut explores reality beyond the perception of the five senses, and documents the experience. The spiritual insights gained while on a psychedelic trip are then integrated into normal life. A psychonaut is guided by divinity, and seeks the understanding of reality itself. So, come and take a journey with us into the depths of the mind!

There are 5 Editions of Reserve Edition - each their own unique tribute to the original Joker and the Thief decks. As a nod to Pedro, each of the decks have Spanish names.

Platino Azul pays tribute to the very FIRST Joker and the Thief deck, Midnight Blue Edition: The deck that started it all. This one has a special place in our heart and is a faithful and respectful homage to the deck that forged a path for the brand.
