ARK, with its leading-edge traditional Chinese ink painting and innovative card box design, brings forth this richly mythical book and its stories once again to the world.

In the design of ShanHai, traditional Chinese ink painting techniques were employed, resulting in over 100 large-scale hand-drawn illustrations. Even though they may appear as tiny details on the playing cards.

The cards draw inspiration from the "Shan Hai Jing," with the theme centered around the Queen Mother . This shifts the focus to the Kunlun Mountains in the west, painted using traditional Chinese landscape ink painting techniques.

STANDARD DECK

• Based on the 'Shan Hai Jing'
• Chinese ink painting style
• Four-panel folding screen case
• Clever card back design.

ARK CASE

• Four-panel folding screen case
• Shan Hai adopts a new double-layer case design
• The inner four-panel folding screen design organizes the cards by suit, placing them in four separate compartments.
• When the cards are taken out, the folding screen unfolds to reveal four divine birds on one side and the Queen Mother on the other.

BACK DESIGN

• Dynamic effect
• In the bronze mirror, the image of the leopard is depicted as a yin-yang fish.
• When the cards are fanned out, the same image as the folding screen is hidden within the 56 cards.

What is eternity? The ancient Egyptians answered with a "handled cross."

They held Ankhs in burial, praying for resurrection and the afterlife, exploring infinite possibilities with endless life. Bathed in the brilliance of ancient Egyptian civilization, ARK suddenly found new inspiration.

Thus, the elusive eternal life sought by the ancient Egyptians, and the prosperity it nurtured, took shape after being washed by the waters of the Nile and the sands of time. A symbol, a scroll, a deck of cards, a civilization, an epic.

It is FINALLY TIME for a highly requested fruit to join the OPC family! Peaches are here for summer! It has taken a while for these to be ready for release, but we promise it was worth the wait! Our amazing designer Alexis really knocked this one out of the park! We went for a throw back style when designing the peach itself on the back. We then added peach themed items to the courts in true OPC style. The tuck box on this deck is also fitting to peaches! Not only does it look like a peach, but it is soft like one too! If you order 6 decks of Peaches, they will be baked right into your own peach cobbler half brick box!
