Every adult was once a child - it's just that few people remember. The "Dream seeking Deck" series was born. In the choice of design style, we abandoned the previous style and chose "pixel", a style that is also closely related to our childhood to paint. The pixel-style classic games that were popular at the end of the last century, together with beautiful fairy tales, jointly carry our beautiful childhood memories. Here, may each of us be our own prince/princess at last. The inner and outer card boxes are made of special laser paper and bronzing and matte lamination technology, which can create a fantastic star-shimmering effect when turned in the hand. Fully customized pixel style card cover, the pattern avatar of the card adopts the Q-version pixel image of the classic fairy tale characters. Symmetrical two-way swirl, the back design of the card is set off with the white border pattern, which makes the card more beautiful when it is used. Here, may each of us be our own prince/princess at last. Printed by KSPC, using 280G black core paper imported from Japan.

The Lost Legends story takes inspiration from "The Middle Ages" in Europe, also known as the "Dark Ages." This era is characterized by ignorance and superstition, shrouding the world like a never ending nightmare. During this period, the Church initiated the lengthy "witch-hunt" movement, leading to the persecution and suppression of countless innocent women being accused. "Lost Legends" is a series set in this era, drawing from its historical context while incorporating fantasy elements to create an epic series.

Standard Edition "The Witch": The character depictions on the card box is delicate and captivating, presenting an enduring sense of historical weight akin to sculptures. With gold foils, the overall tuckbox stands out as an art piece. The Standard Edition is limited to 2500, individually numbered at the bottom. The overall construction of the tuck box leans towards the solemnity of Papal murals, while incorporating elements reminiscent of the Mughal decorative art style to achieve a harmonious composition. The card back and front designs feature extensive metallic ink throughout, providing just enough shine to enhance the designs of the patterns and characters. Also featuring a looming intricate pattern in the background, it further enhances the luxuriousness of the cards themselves.

Passione Playing Cards presents Vivaldi: a playing cards project that aims to bring the baroque vibe and the music of the Italian composer and violinist Antonio Vivaldi into a set of masterfully illustrated decks.

The Vivaldi ensemble is composed of two main decks: Vivaldi Allegro and Vivaldi Largo. Vivaldi Concerto is a special, limited and numbered book-like edition holding the playing cards of both variations. Stretch goals will add a series of goodies that will be revealed later in the campaign. Stay tuned!

In Vivaldi Allegro characters are drawn with a (bowed) string instrument. All court cards are custom, and the colour scheme of each suit matches the mood of a season in order to homage The Four Seasons: one of the most famous masterpieces composed by Antonio Vivaldi.

Quoted from Draconian & Knights kickstarter page. My newest project is a 3 Deck Set that includes a new version of my popular Dragon-inspired design (the Draconians), and a pair of all new designs - the Knights Decks. ALL Decks, AND the 3-Deck Case for the Kickstarter-Exclusive GILDED Set, will be printed by Legends Playing Card Co., with their TAIWAN PRINTER (and with their Classic Finish). I've always been a fan of Fantasy literature. Some of my favorite authors include J.R.R. Tolkien, George R.R. Martin and Raymond E. Feist. The original Draconians were a nod to the captivating Dragons in their stories. I think of the Knights Decks as spinoff designs of the Draconians. They're the brave Knights that risk life and limb to protect their lands from the dangerous Dragons! The Draconian Wildfire Deck exudes the energy of an intense green fire. The Tuck Box will be printed on a premium soft-touch smooth paper stock. The printing features on the Tuck includes Green FOIL, PANTONE Grey and a UV Spot Ink overlay (and an Embossing Stretch Goal). For a closer look, here's a link to the Draconian Wildfire Tuck flat. The Draconian's Back Card features a Borderless optical illusion design formed from Dragon Scales. The Face Cards feature random fire / crackle fissures of Green over a full-bleed Black background. The fissures are also incorporated into the designs of the PIPs, Courts, Ace heros and Jokers. The Classic Courts are flanked with the Dragon scales spiral-shaped designs. Everything comes together to create a cool look that is also very playable! More images of the Draconian Wildfire Cards can be found at the bottom of this project page (including the Jokers).

The Tuck Boxes for both Knights Decks will be printed on a shiny Silver Foil material. Truly a pair of Knights in shining armour! Each Tuck will feature a different 4-Color Process design that's printed directly onto the Silver Foil material (and an Embossing Stretch Goal). If you've ever seen the Tuck Box for my buddy Max's Bicycle Metal Deck with CPC, you know how the final effect should look (click here to see the Metal Deck's Tuck). The Knights Tucks should look amazing!!

The designs for the Knights Tucks incorporate a Chainmail background for the Fury, and an Etched Armour background for the Rage. The Fury Deck features a green accented shield and a Stag Head for his crest. The Rage Deck features an amber accented shield and a Bull Head for his crest. Each design includes its Knight's preferred style of weaponry - Battle Mace for the Rage Knight, Medieval Axe for the Fury Knight (sorry fellow GOT fans, no Ice-Tipped Spear). For a closer look, here's a couple links to the Rage Knight and Fury Knight Tuck flats.

The Fury Knight Back Card features a Chainmail background and a head-to-head layout of the Fury Knight's shield, Stag Head crest and Medieval Axe. The Face Cards for the Fury Deck have a metal texture with green full-bleed coloring. The PIPS have a silver metallic look, and are inlaid with Rivets. The Spades and Clubs have full coverage of green throughout. The Hearts and Diamonds have large center areas with amber coloring. The green and amber color variances help with reading between the suits and overall playability. I used an older Courts Set for the Jacks, Queens and Kings. I felt the old-school design fit perfectly with the rest of the design elements. More images of the Fury Knight Cards can be found at the bottom of this project page (including the Jokers).

A blend of illustration, graphic design, and storytelling: taking a simpler, minimalistic approach – weaving the cards together with the use of illustrations and small narratives to give it a childlike playfulness, but yet keeping a dark overall. The crisscrossing of diagonal lines help divide the space while simulating the hands of a clock.
