The Samedi Deck is a custom Kickstarter-exclusive set of handcrafted playing cards homegrown in the US of A and printed by the USPCC. In celebration of Voodoo culture and Baron Samedi, the Voodoo Loa (god) of the Dead, the Samedi deck goes beyond the pop culture version of Voodoo that is commonly encountered.

Instead, it presents a unique aesthetic drawn from the long tradition of Voodoo imagery, beliefs, and culture, honoring those gods and goddesses which are not readily known in western society. The completed deck embodies a sleek, minimalist style that strikes a balance between modern sensibilities and classical designs.

Also available in gilded edition.

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.
