Fragmenta Test Print Deck which is essentially the same as the Fagmenta Deck but has different colors on the courts, the aces and slightly on the back. It also has very good handling but not as great as the official edition. Comes in a matt purple tuck with gold printing.

The Fragmenta Deck, originated back in the time of Moresque playing cards, I was at the factory where the deck was cut. One sheet was by mistake fed upside down to the cutting machine and came out with the cut completely misplaced. It was so weird that inspired me to make a deck which would be purposely designed to look miscut.

FRAGMENTA back design incorporates elements from 4 decks:

• MORESQUE
• GOLDEN RULE
• SILK PLAYERS
• MAESTRO

Printed in 1100 unnumbered copies, it has gold and silver metallic inks on both the face and back sides. It also features NEW "standard" courts and great handling, ideal for beautiful fans!

The tuck case itself was a challenge to print as the registration had to be PERFECT in order to achieve the effect of different boxes and materials being glued together. We used 5 different foils plus embossing and the result is quite impressive. It's maybe the tuck case I'm most proud of!

Sanctissimus Gilded: The only survivors from a 1200+ deck print run which was almost entirely scrapped due to a printer's mistake, are now breathtakingly gilded and available to complete the SANCTISSIMUS set.

Lotrek has a habit of changing and fixing things from one print to another, so this is a slightly different print run from both prior versions. The differences are subtle: The frame is less pronounced and the pips are a bit smaller, also the Ace of Spades doesn't have SANCTISSIMUS and OATH PLAYING CARDS written on it.

Deck features:

• 420 decks in total, all hand numbered
• CMYK with gold and silver metallic inks
• Gold gilding
• Tuck case with 2 foils inside, 3 foils + embossing outside

Since Fable, we have further developed the technique of printing with vibrant colors on black stock. The result is very impressive and beautiful as from the darkness of the black stock emerges the light and colors of the courts. Wrapped in a playful blue prismatic foil, the deck is a feast for the eyes!

It is a limited print run of 550 decks that feature:

Black stock

Blue Prism foil on the back

Blue Prism foil on the Ace of Spades

Smooth handling but not so great for fans (LOL)

Introducing Ad Fontes, Renaissance Playing cards, featuring hand-painted imagery by artist Ritu Bhattacharya.

Ad Fontes, meaning, “back to the source” in Latin, was a closely held belief for Martin Luther, among many others. Luther believed that old Greek sources were more important than the Pope’s word, which led him to become the father of Lutheranism.

This project was planned with the idea to create a deck of cards to tell the story of the Renaissance. To add a layer of authenticity, these cards were drawn using prevalent artistic techniques from the era. Also, the old paper-like appearance harks back to earlier knowledge and doctrines.
