La Mouche Noire is the deluxe edition of La Mouche, with a tuck box inspired by the charming aesthetic of vintage French posters and a hand-stamped seal resembling an event ticket with numbered, limited seating. Like the Blanche deck, it consists of 54 poker-sized cards and revolves around the adventures of a fly, the mischievous protagonist sometimes appearing as an insect, at other times disguising itself as a beauty mark. Throughout the faces and reverse of the cards, you will find numerous references to repurposed playing cards from the past, as well as nods to old card games, art, literature, music, and more. You can explore more details in the Kickstarter campaign.
Printed in 2024 by Expert Playing Card Co. on their classic linen-finish stock and featuring silver cold foil on the faces and silver gilding on the edges, La Mouche Noire has been released in a limited edition of 340 decks. The custom-shaped tuck box has been manufactured in Italy by Boschiero & Newton, with silver, red, and white hot foil on high-quality Fedrigoni paper stock, enhanced by detailed embossing.
