In the Chinese Zodiac, each year is represented by one of 12 different animals. The Zodiac also has a cycle of 5 different elements - Metal/Gold, Water, Wood, Fire, and Earth. 2022 is the year of the Water Tiger.

We worked with artist & illustrator Panji Putra Prima Aji to create a beautiful, playable deck of cards that celebrates the strength and beauty of the Water Tiger. The card backs feature a front-facing tiger head with waves crashing around him, printed in a gorgeous blue.

The faces feature completely custom number cards, pips, and court cards with tiger royalty. The aces have enlarged center pips with detailed artwork. Two different custom jokers can be used as wild cards in all of your favorite games, while two bonus gaff cards can be used for magic tricks.

The custom tuck box is made from a bright blue paper with a matte finish, with the inner & outer designs completely crafted from white foil for amazing visual contrast and a subtle luxurious texture. The box is topped off with a custom, individually-numbered sticker seal.

Water Tiger playing cards feature UltraLux™ Finish and AquaFlow™ Coating. This blend of casino-grade European card stock and water-based coating, with a perfect linen texture and vegetable-based inks results in a deck that handles like an absolute dream. The cards are traditionally cut with smooth edges that provide just the right amount of grip. These cards are soft enough to get to work straight out of the box, but durable enough to meet the needs of a full-time magician, cardist, or card sharp.

Available singly or in 6-packs with custom half brick collector boxes, get your Water Tiger decks for a year of good luck!

Forged on the bank of the Hudson River in New York, Hudson Playing Cards were inspired by a historic factory dating back to 1856. It was the pinnacle of playing card quality.

With unrivaled quality, snap, feel, and finish, Hudson Playing Cards were the gold standard for poker players and family games alike. Thousands of decks once crossed this mythical assembly line - and then, as quickly as it emerged, it vanished in 1871 with the rise of the New York Consolidated Card Company.

A legend lost to history - until today. theory11 proudly reimagines Hudson Playing Cards, with an all-new deck designed and manufactured in the USA with relentless attention to detail.

The design is breathtaking, intricate, detailed, and timeless - with a custom Ace of Spades, Joker, back design, and tuck case packaging.

Timeless Americana is laced throughout the design, with iconography of colonial America and patriotic symbols of peace, prosperity, and potential. Unions are Made in America, using FSC-certified paper, vegetable-based inks, and starch-based laminates.

Unions were designed by Jay Fletcher in Charleston, South Carolina - one of the oldest and most historic cities in America.

Over a year in development, every aspect of the design was created from scratch - from the breathtaking court cards to the back design and Ace of Spades.

Created and printed by Stockholm17 (Lorenzo Gaggiotti) and William Kalush (Expert Playing Card Company) exclusively for 52 Plus Joker. This limited edition deck is a fantastic representation of the world’s greatest playing card collector’s club. Fully customized. 1st print run of 999 numbered decks.
