54 Colorful Classic Bicycle Back. Fully Customized JQKs, Fantastic for Cardistry

From the leaflet: "This deck illustrates the collective nouns of various species of animal, also known as 'terms of venery'. Many of these terms came from the language used in hunting. Frequently there are multiple collective nouns associated with a particular species. I have taken the liberty of choosing the term which lent itself best to an illustration; other collective nouns may have been more commonly used" Semi-transformation deck. The court cards and jokers each have their own theme, jacks are "A Train of Jackdaws", queens are "A Flight of Butterflies", kinks are "A Crown of Kingfishers" and the jokers are "A Cackle of Hyenas. The aces and number cards each portray a specific species.

Description from the website: inchoate (adj.) ink-oh-at 1. just begun 2. formless, disordered or incoherent Inchoate Tales is a darkly whimsical deck of poker cards brimming with a chaotic collection of ink drawings, each with their own seed of a story to tell. Whatever game you choose to play with your deck, your experience will be uniquely peppered with hoarding rats, broken bones, key-clutching crows, forbidden books, deadly daggers, and disruptive snakes. I have created 54 monochrome illustrations with India ink and ink brush pen. Each card has a distinctive character of its own within the deck - together they form an anarchic anthology tied together through style and unruliness! - The cards are sure slip textured with a linen finish, for easy shuffling. - The box has a soft texture to it and feels beautiful to the touch.

First ever retail edition of VXD playing cards, showcasing a newly patented technology, allowing striking yet elegant customization.

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/zeedog/vertex-deck-vxd-las-vegas-edition VXD playing cards were conceived with one primary goal in mind: The ability to customize the fronts of the playing card (where the real action takes place), while preserving the classic, traditional look. The patented addition of custom security-type transparent holographics to the traditional ink artwork, for each of the 52 (+jokers) different card fronts, allows exactly that. The playing cards are given a subtle, flashy edge as well as an additional layer of detailed embedded custom artwork to strengthen the identity and message of the deck. First Day Issue decks are limited to 499 of the Black and 299 of the Stars & Stripes set. These decks are laser etched with 'First Day Issue' on the cases as well as printed on the Ace of Spades, the decks are sealed with a numbered sticker (eg. 050/299) and the Ace of Spades also has 'secret' holographic signatures of both creators.

The Retro Deck was originally inspired by vintage matchbox art from the 1950s. The popularity of the mid-century modern era lies in its ability to find timeless elegance in the expression of form through function and we strove to meet those standards in this deck.
