A NEW version of Dominus Playing Cards with numerous updates to technical features, layout and artistic refinement. Inspired by Macbeth and Game of Thrones and illustrated in collaboration with Eugen Poe, Nicolai Aaroe artistically depicts the internal struggle between the path of the righteous and the morally corrupt.

Dominus V2 illustrates the damaging physical and psychological effects of political ambition on those who seek to gain power through activities related to the underworld and black magic. Each court card tells a unique story of fate, destiny, choice and consequence! Dominus V2 consists of two unique editions Obscura V2 and Deceptus, each representing the theme in a unique design with numerous deluxe features and designed as fine art playing cards.

The vast majority of creature designs are unique in the two editions of The Cursed & The Crooked. Combined, the two decks feature a total of 20 different fantasy characters, all richly illustrated with many details. Some are mischievous and dangerous, while others are friendly or even helpful. Everything is alive in the kingdom of The Cursed and The Crooked. The trees, the rivers, the birds and the bees… It will be up to you to judge which creature you’ll want to avoid and which creature you’ll want to guide you. The tucks are manufactured with special colored ‘soft touch’ stocks for a matte look and feel, contrasting the richly embossed metallic foils and extravagant artwork on all sides of the tuck case.

The tuck seals of The Cursed & The Crooked are true standouts, designed in a horisontal sticker format, each featuring the unique number for every deck made. To add to the originality, these seals are going to be positioned at the tuck bottoms. The Cursed edition card backs have a two-way design, richly detailed with folklorish floral ornamentation and ever staring eyes from the depths of the forest.

London 1843. The construction of Big Ben begins, but there are already many bells tolling long echoes through the dark streets of London. These narrow streets are inhabited by suspicious figures that cast long shadows. A thief, a beggar, a prostitute, a corrupt politician and his cunning wife. All sceptical and scheming about the intentions of the shadowy figure right around the corner and at the end of the street.

Bicycle Verbena is inspired by the wildflower, featuring a design with intricate lines of the stems and blossoms, often seen in shades of deep purple. The golden foil on the tuck represents the warmth of the sun. The tuck design is reminiscent of the divine and supernatural forces often associated with its namesake.

The Bicycle® Fyrebird deck brings the heat with fire inspired colors, a gold foil accented tuck, and a custom card back.

London, flagship of the British Empire. London, capital of the World under the rule of our very gracious Queen Victoria.

My name is Edward Milligan, and I am what you could call a gentleman (...). Oh, according to someone who knows me, I possess other qualifiers; cheater, swindler, huckster, charmer...

Because, I'm a card player. And not just any player! I am incomparable, elusive, victorious!

I run and jump as well as I handle the cards, because often my opponents refuse to believe in my good fortune and often want to end the game by taking it out on me.

They are mistaken, of course. Because I have a secret. My weapon, my magic power, is my card deck.

Out of the ordinary, this game was specially made for me by a bit magical craftsman.

Look at these cards, these fretwork patterns, with gold and silver arabesques, these floral lines and curves, these amazing figures.

Ah, the figures disturb you? I can understand it; you were expecting heraldic portraits, weren't you? This is a classic, but nothing is ordinary in this game, which is like me. Symbols, this is the power of the mysteries of these cards! A majestic chryselephantine scepter enhanced with precious stones, for the King, a rose, as sweet as it is sharp, for the Lady, and, finally, a magnificent pistol with adjusted barrel and handle of rare essence, for the Jack.

Admit it, you are under the spell too aren't you?

The Victorian playing cards Obsidian deck is composed of fifty two cards and two jokers. The project main idea is to replace the traditional court cards by symbols: scepter for the king, rose for the queen and pistol for the jack. Other cards stays as usual. The colors are copper for the red and silver for the blacks. The background is black with a victorian pattern. The cards are mirrored so they look the same upside down with subtile differences.
