In the stillness of the night, when you look up at the starry sky, you will find that countless stars illuminate the entire galaxy. Only at this time will we realize that human beings are so small. Although the stars are not as dazzling as the sun and the moon, they symbolize the most precious qualities of mankind: loyalty and firmness. Esther Star Playing Cards is not only a milestone in our creation, but also represents every person who loves hie or her life. For them, this is a beautiful symbol and imprint. The stars are restrained and subtle, which walk among the clouds, reminding us with shimmering shimmer the meaning of life by welcoming every day seriously. There are two editions of this deck, Classic and Deluxe - the Classic comes in a standard tuck case, while the the latter uses the open fan-shaped design of Helius Sun and Luna Moon series.

The Helius Sun Playing Card includes 2 versions: a Classic Edition (Left) and a Deluxe Edition (Right). The box for Helius Sun is just as special as Luna Moon, and incorporates some complimentary details. The Maroon Red box is reminiscent of the Sun’s flaming heat. The rigid, hexagon opening represents the Sun’s fierceness. The opening of the box is like sunray beaming towards us on Earth, providing the warmth and freedom that we so desperately after months of freezing cold.

The Luna Playing Card includes 2 versions: a Classic case Edition (Left) and a Deluxe case Edition (Right). Both editions are highly limited with only 2500 each.

This deck is illegally printed by revolutionary terrorists and its possession constitutes a criminal offence. Citizens are required to report sightings of this deck to an officer of the Ministry of Protection immediately. Good Citizens must be informed, however, of the tactics of our enemies in order to recognize their deceptions. The Ministry of Information has therefore provided the following reproductions of this deck in order to educate our People and expose the lies of the rebels.

Spades - Terrorists: Terrorists who dare to oppose us directly. They are extremely dangerous and violent, especially towards innocents. The Rebels call them heroes, but they are Cowards. They attempt to challenge the Order with suicidal frontal attacks which always fail spectacularly. They are foolish, disorganized, and reckless.

Hearts - Anarchists: They accuse our perfect organization of oppression, and refuse to accept the Truth: that our people are happy to work for the Magnificence of our Nation! These dissenters were once our People, but have chosen to betray the Nation. Glorified by the Rebels, hated by their own People, these Anarchists are outlaws without rights or Citizenship.

Clubs - Snakes: These poisonous snakes hide in the shadows, waiting to attack our Valiant officers. Weak but numerous, they are a constant annoyance to the Ministry of Protection and a serious menace to our Nation. All stealthy spies who attempt to destabilize the Order are officially designated "Snakes”. They are cowardly saboteurs, but the Ministry of Protection will soon eradicate them forever.

Diamonds - Liars: Posters, radio broadcasts, hidden messages: Revolutionary Propaganda is a combination of clever misdirection and outright lies. Do not be deceived! Only the Order will give you the Truth. With their education and their ideas they think they're smarter and better than you.

Propaganda Cards: Be wary of these attractive but disingenuous campaigns included in the subversive Revolutio decks. Order Revolutio is the second deck of the Order Series.

Notes on Order Occultus:

Occultus is a backup plan I have made for prevent unavoidable production issues.

There will be very few units of it and I have decided to reserve it for this preorder only.

Order Occultus won’t be available for direct purchase. After the current preorder, it will be available only in certain bundles, promotions or as a gift.

Occultus doesn’t have a real retail value: now it’s for sale at $17 and the final value will be determined by the market. I will keep $40 as indication value.

As long as they’re available, you can preorder as many Occultus as you wish.

Occultus have the same cards as Electus, only the tuckbox is different.

If you are a KS Backer Occultus will be shipped with your reward.

If you pledged for a Box, you have 3 Occultus included in your pledge.
