The Blue Crown information: In 2010 stories and artwork were discovered in a book from the early 1700’s that appear to provide evidence about a secret society of magicians. Formed to protect magicians during the Salem Witch Trials of the late 1600’s, the Order of the Owl was founded in the Northeastern US. We have painstakingly restored and recreated the artwork we found in order to put this deck into the hands of modern magicians and keep the memory of this society alive. Some believe that the order still exists, though we cannot be sure. Secrets are everywhere. We have printed 5,000 of these amazing decks on top-quality stock and finish. The tuck box has metallic ink, a custom seal, and other surprises. We have also created a limited run of 2,500 white Altruism decks, which we have dubbed Snow Owls. The Snow Owls have been released in limited numbers - keep an eye out for future contests and promotions! -Detailed Artwork by Hydro74 -High-Quality Stock and Finish -Secrets are Everywhere Due to a printing error made at US Playing Card, 1st edition Altruism decks have a duplicate Queen of Hearts. You will receive the Queen of Diamonds for any decks ordered in a protective envelope alongside your decks.

This series takes as reference the relationship between the nomads of Xiongnu in ancient Northern Asia and the well-known Chinese lunar calendar represented by 12 animals. In this calendar each animal is related to the lunar year of birth and also marks, according to its beliefs, the destiny of each person.

Since a series of 12 decks would be too ambitious for a single project, we decided to launch the first deck dedicated to the PIG year (2019) and then to continue within a year.

About the Deck: Cards have been beautifully illustrated combining ancestral and modern techniques. The original drawings have been created with a Buddhist painting technique called “nagtan”. This technique uses dark backgrounds and luminous brush strokes. The digital treatment of these illustrations eliminates the dark backgrounds to achieve cleaner and more colorful cards.

Each deck has been customized according to the animal it represents. Thus, the court cards show animals with human aspect and dressed in colorful period costumes. The faces are full of details.

Each deck also includes texts with relevant aspects for each sign such as positive and negative colors, lucky numbers, matching signs and enemies, etc…

In addition, each deck will have four jokers for joker collectors.

Features:

Embossing for tuck boxes for both editions

2 foils (Red, Gold, Silver) for tuck boxes for both editions

German premium black soft-touch cardstock for LIMITED tuck box

Italian pearlescent colored (red) cardstock for STANDARD tuck box

Spot UV glossy varnish for LIMITED EDITION tuck box

Numbered seals for LIMITED EDITION decks

High quality German card stock for cards

Pantone metallic ink for card backs

All courts are drawn by hand

56 poker sized playing cards (52 cards+4 jokers)

4 jokers in every deck for joker collectors

Printed by NPCC with premium linen finish

A Double-deck jacket will be followed each 2 decks free (included in stretch goal)

We released the series in 2 versions as Limited and Standard versions. But in reality there is a little difference between the two. They are: numbered seals (which make exclusive LE eliminating by 600) and UV varnish on tuck box of Limited Edition. But SE edition tuckbox will have either 3rd foil orUV warnish, which will give a interesting look to SE decks not less luxurious but even may be more interesting colorful look than Limited Edition. After seeing result of test printing we are having more attitudes toward using 3rd foil.

Both looks luxurious with 2 or 3 foils, emboss and metallic paper. So we think, after reaching certain goal ($5000 may be) we can make numbered seal on Standard version. Of course, it is open for discussion. As shows the campaign with pig year deck, the difference in numbers between LE and SE is not so drastic reaching several hundreds. So the Standard version might have ceiling of 600 too.

Features:

Printing resolution 0.04 mm offer to print finest lines for high detailed image of backs.

The deck is currently not available on the online store, but can be found at Angelarium's convention appearances, including Gen Con. Angelarium website: https://www.angelarium.net/
