Each deck of (PRODUCT)RED Playing Cards can provide up to three days of life-saving HIV medication. This medication not only keeps someone living with HIV healthy, but also prevents moms from passing the virus to their unborn babies.
Timeless Tales that trace images in the mind that transcend the telling.
I have chosen to express 1001 Nights with a naive yet very intricate design, which is all my own. 1001 Nights celebrates the simplicity and honesty of “hand-made” objects, which are becoming increasingly rare now.
At the deepest level, these cards reflect the boundless spirit of the Arabian Nights and the never-ending bond between the Teller of Tales and the Listener.
Beloved tales brought to life with magical hand-drawn works of art.

Funded as a Kickstarter project on 03/07/15 with $16,464 pledged from 205 backers, this was a single deck set. Designed and created by Sean Martines, this deck was classically drawn and designed with a classy marijuana theme.
This deck is identical to the very limited official 52 Plus Joker Club edition for 2014 (of which there were 500). The difference with this deck is that the cards have gold foil instead of silver, and this was printed in much larger quantities. Also, the tuck case on this deck is side loading, whereas the very limited deck had a thick cardboard clamshell tuck.
52Proof Whiskey is as American as apple pie. The giant oak tree on the front of the tuck box and seal a symbol of the aging process for fine bourbon, matured in charred oak barrels to develop the distinct smoky flavour. This oak motif continues throughout the cards, from the Ace of Spades right around to the back design. While bars before prohibition were predominantly male domains, in the 1920\'s many women flocked to speakeasies in their best flapper attire. We\'ve taken inspiration from images of the era to design the court cards, the art-deco look very in-vogue at the time. The Gold Foil stamping on the outside of the tuck and luxurious red satin-finished interior makes 52Proof one of the most gorgeous boxes we\'ve ever produced - and it\'s only available in the Prohibition Box Set.
Designed and inspired by 5th & Laurel, a historic building in San Diego, California dating back to 1965.
Each playing card box is made of soft but sturdy off-white stock, letterpressed with cobalt blue and warm gold foil — reminiscent of the California ocean with a modern design.
100% Custom Faces
A signature geometric pattern adorns the box and back design. It's 52 bits ofvisual eye candy — especially when fanned or shuffled. Every card features a custom design, front and back.
These playing cards were produced by art collective A.Bandit (Derek DelGaudio and Glenn Kaino) for their show, The Space Between, in 2011. The back design is based on a sketch by Ren̩ Descartes, which illustrated the phenomenon of Alexander's band, the space between a double rainbow. Originally these cards were only available at their show, however, a small supply of them were eventually distributed and quickly sold out. In 2012, they were featured in Dan and Dave's Variety Box, a curated collection featuring 12 of the finest decks of playing cards in the world. These decks are traditionally cut and only 2,000 were produced.

Absinthe - the Green Fairy of spirits, has long been associated with the bohemian lifestyle, with famous drinkers including Picasso, Van Gogh, Hemingway, Oscar Wilde and Toulouse-Lautrec.
These cards embody the allure of the emerald drink, the hallucinogenic haze, sugar crystals in the night, the Ace of Spades modelled after the filigree of the absinthe spoon. With its heavy embossing and text that pokes fun at itself, even the box appears to have had a few drinks.
Originally printed for the Prohibition Box Set, the Absinthe Version 2 deck has been tweaked slightly to keep the integrity in design, whilst also allowing you to own more than one deck, without having to buy multiple Prohibition sets. This deck is too cool for display, it has to be shown off...

The Agenda Playing Cards Facade (henceforth Agenda Red) continues the tradition we have established in our earlier projects, Agenda Playing Cards (aka V1), Mini Agenda, and the recently funded Agenda Playing Cards Redux (aka Agenda Blue) - translating abstract concepts related to change, transformation, ideology into concrete visual representations embedded in playing card designs. The idea for Agenda Red came to us in the middle of our hugely successful Agenda Blue campaign (we have our ups and downs for that campaign if you are acquainted with what has happened). There was a realization that there are still many other ways we can play with the ideas and concepts visually using the playing card medium. In fact, we did not just spawn Agenda Red, we are also working on an Agenda series that will include at least another 2 playing card projects. The rest of the series will feature exploration of other related concepts and new, exciting design and colour schemes. The success of Agenda Red will serve as catalyst to complete the entire series.
