A New York Icon

Originally designed by Calvert Vaux, Tavern on the Green was built as a sheep fold in the 1880’s to house 700 Southdown sheep. The building was transformed into a restaurant in 1934 as part of a park renovation by Robert Moses. Reopened in 2014, the restaurant paid homage to their roots with inviting décor and wood paneling reminiscent of the original sheep fold.

All Green and Gold

It’s only fitting that these limited edition Tavern on the Green Playing Cards pay homage to this storied history. Shielded in green and gold foil, Tavern on the Green Playing Cards feature the most intricate details on a tuck case we’ve ever produced - inside and out - every detail shines. Exquisite embossing and ultra-rich foil create an aura that only belongs to Tavern.

Citizens are the most intricate, breathtaking playing cards we’ve ever produced. Illustrated in America by Kevin Cantrell, every aspect was handcrafted with relentless, unrivaled attention to detail. 

For the first time, we combined gold foil, hot stamping, and bronze foil to create a box design that’s eye catching, elegant, and sophisticated.

Even the inside of the box has a breathtaking, intricate guilloche pattern. The Joker and back design bear the Latin phrase “Audentes Fortuna Iuvat.” Fortune favors the brave. The Ace of Spades features an iconic Citizen “C” emblem.

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. Printed at USPCC on the finest stock available, only 5000 of the Absinthe First Edition decks exist. Absinthe playing cards are only available in the Prohibition Box Set.

Disparos - Spanish for \'shots\', is how tequila should be consumed. Taking inspiration from the vaqueros and gunslingers of the Mexican old west, the tequila deck is a piece of history. The block printing design and false-edge border gives these cards a rustic look, the kind you\'d expect to find regularly laying about on a three-legged wood table in the local cantina, stained with condensation rings from the cold tequila glasses. No detail has been overlooked with this design, despite the look of the paper, it is the highest quality stock available, finished with Performance Coating for that distinct Ellusionist Deck feel. Jokers show the before and after scenes of the classic tequila shot and an ad card describes how those over the age of 21 can get in on the action. With embossed sugar skulls, duelling pistols and custom everything, these are shots of Tequila you won\'t regret in the morning. Printed in a limited run of 5,000, the First Edition Disparos Deck is exclusively available in the Prohibition Boxed Set.
