Eva Paradis include the same cards as Eva Noire, with an experimental tuckbox made by a German Golden Paper. For the first time, the metallic golden paper was bought by Thirdway Industries directly, it wasn’t available through our tuckbox factory. This is the reason of the “experimental” word in the description. Cards are based on the first edition of Eva, with a completely restructured color scheme that include 4 different metallic inks (green, red, gold and pure silver) and a black background. However, this is not just a color swap: all the courts are redesigned!

This deck is the last one of Odissea series and talk about the last travel and the death of Ulysses.

“Nec Plus Ultra” was written on the Pillars of Hercules, the limit of the known World. It means “No more further” in latin, and pass them was forbidden to all mortals. Ulysses was crazy enough to challenge Gods, and he was so hungry of knowledge to cross them. The story of Ulysses crossing the Pillars is found in the Divina Commedia by Dante Alighieri. In this version of the story, Ulysses dies here, by a huge storm sent by the angry Gods he decided to defy. The Goddess on the tuckbox that represent the Unknown and the Fate. If you followed my other projects, you know I’m in love with the reckless heroes, hungry of knowledge, who does not stay in their place and dare to challenge overwhelming powers.
