Rubaiyat Playing Cards is a beautiful deck of cards inspired by the book of poems attributed to the Persian astronomer and poet Omar Khayyam (1048–1131).

The Players Edition features the deck printed with 2 metallic inks (gold and silver) over CMYK printing. The artworks feature intricate Persian patterns, almost looked like vintage carpet with painstaking details on the borders. The broken border elements on all four sides create a very beautiful visual when the cards are fanned. The Courts feature people in Persian kingdom costumes. The Jokers feature the majestic peacock. Each deck features a double-backer and dual red/blue back card.

DELUXE PLAYERS features tuck box with velvet material with a combination of silver and gold hot foil stamping and deep debossing of the pattern. The bottom side of the box is hand-numbered. Every Deluxe Player deck comes with an extra gold box as a protection - the colored dot on the top of it tells what color is the deck inside and the stamped number on the back tells the numbering of the deck.
