Apoteosi is a deck of poker playing cards by Thirdway Industries, inspired by the genesis of the World. Designed by the Italian designer Giovanni Meroni.

Apoteosi is the deck of the (re)creation of the World.

Despite the strong link between Apoteosi and Apocalisse, they may be considered separate series. You can consider Apocalisse a prequel to Apoteosi, or vice versa. They represent a cycle of destruction and rebirth that often occurs in my projects.

Author's note: Apoteosi was designed immediately after Apocalisse, in Spring 2020. Italy was still in lockdown, and I was scared and worried about the pandemic (well, I still am).

After a project focused on destruction and despair--made mainly to exorcize the fear--I wanted to do something focused on rebirth. After all, I am an optimist, and I wanted a happy ending.

I hope this project will inspire positive thoughts about the future.

Geung Si The Torpor & Vampire The Torpor is an extended project to Geung Si Playing Cards & Vampire Playing Cards. The core theme of this project is to focus on the Torpor edition of both Geung Si & Vampire edition.>p>

Many of our Backers have expressed interest in wanting the Geung Si Torpor deck which was initially a stretch goal from Vampire Playing Cards Campaign. We did not manage to unlock the Geung Si Torpor Stretch Goal. Hence we are here to launch a short 15 day campaign to see if we can secure enough funds to bring the Geung Si Torpor deck to all of you.

The Hagazussa tuck box is manufactured with a brown, soft-touch stock that is embossed on all sides. Copper, black and red foil is hot stamped in combination to form the elements of witchcraft on the front and a chilling, burning cross on the tuck back.

60 decks were created for both the Inverno Insights and the Primavera Ponderings decks for this proof run.

Alex Chin, of Seasons Playing Cards and Portfolio 52, gilded them in various different colors and signed & numbered them as x/60 for each deck. These decks were/are being sent to reward key contributors at Portfolio 52 and Seasons. Additional decks will be sent out as the points system on Portfolio 52 is updated and contributions can be better calculated.

As a result, these decks are known as the 'Prototype and Thanks' edition and can be identified by the white label (vs black on original decks), the signature & hand numbering inside the tuck and custom gilding color which will vary within each set of 60. Could include known green, but also possibly include gold, silver, red, etc. While originally created in 2016 to prepare for the first Apothecary decks, they were not distributed until starting in 2018.
