Dominion playing cards uses custom illustrated courts of the most well-known Kings and Queens of fictional and non-fictional empires of all times. It reimagines the courts of a standard deck with illustrations that are gorgeous and colorful, with intricate details. Double-Sided Full-Foil on ultra-thin card stock

Imagine spray painting a mirror, you would have some shiny silver bits that you leave without paint, and some colorful bits depending on how much and which color you spray on the mirror. This is a rudimentary example of how the full-foil printing and production process works.

Typically this printing technique is used on trading cards (Pokemon) but never on playing cards due to the research and development involved in ensuring the playing cards handle just as well as a standard deck, with no clumping or chipped edges.

Full-foil is beneficial because you can overprint multiple colors to make any part of the artwork shine with varying reflectivity levels, exactly where you want it to be. No more detail loss or artwork shift like you can see with hot foiling. Sculpted Embossing

Acid-etching and hand-crafted embossing plates create rounded embossed elements in the artwork, which Legends will use for the Dominion tuck boxes. A close look at the blind embossed elements of the tuck (the parts without the shiny foil) and you can see why sculpted embossing is an elegant alternative to standard embossing.

In addition to sculpted embossing, the Dominion tuck boxes feature embossed elements within the hot foil. If you look closely at the griffon artwork in the shield, that is accomplished by pressing an embossing plate through the hot foil and soft touch paper of the tuck box. An advanced packaging technique which is masterfully highlighted by Jody Eklund’s artwork.

Forbidden Forest captures South Asia's most imaginative mythological creatures in an eccentric set of luxury playing cards. From a horse-headed demon to rivaling monkeys, we have reinterpreted twelve fantastic animals to breathe new life into ancient tales.

The playing card symbol indicates the creature's habitat (♦️ the jungle, ♣️ sea, ♠️ grasslands, and ♥️ sky)- these environments are beautifully illustrated on each ace.

Each creature is a window into how our ancestors interpreted the world - representing their fears and uncertainties and captures their morals and hopes. We want to open questions and create opportunities to exchange stories across generations and cultures. This is our way of share a deeper aspect of our culture with you, focusing not on what divides us but what connects us all.

For centuries, demons have been conjured from the underworld. Infamous for their malevolent nature, they have been often associated with nocturnal animals like the bat. The devilish features of the creature have yet to be fully revealed, and the giant wings suggest that devils don’t come from hell beneath us, they come from the sky. With over Three Years in the making, we are here to present to you, the Demon Playing Cards.

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.
