The Enchantress doesn't play fair—when it comes to games of chance, you'll want to bring your own deck. This official set of Shovel Knight playing cards were designed by Fangamer's own Laura Verdin and produced by the US Playing Card Company, the same company responsible for Bicycle card decks. For 2020 we've launched them in a brand-new navy colorway!

Christopher Nielsen is the illustrator of the deck, and was commissioned by Extrablack design and Lion to design a set of playing cards for the James Squire range of beers from The Malt Shovel Brewery.

Inspired by the intensely curious works of Escher, this deck was meticulously designed and illustrated to create a reality-bending deck in the most sincerest form. Good illusions blur the lines between dual designs, trying to persuade you to see something not quite there. But great illusions solidify those lines to transform these designs into unmistakably new perspectives. Large windows blend the boundaries between cards and box. Each deck in this year’s collection contains a singular perspective that controls the “reality” of the designs inside it, creating a stunningly visual change to the actual cards themselves. Will you be of the King’s persuasion and see his crown ? Or will your deck be captured by the Queen revealing a completely DIFFERENT set of pieces in tow? Bring home the world’s first dual perspective changing deck and keep a piece of playing card history for your shelf. This deck truly takes the genre to a whole new level. A quick video shows the utterly stunning visual change side by side between one “reality” and another to truly appreciate the amazing results these small perspective boxes can do. The Knight Version has Holographic Gilding
