2020 DOTY Award Nominee: 'Best Tuck'

Amazons Spartans is the first deck from the new series, created by Sviatoslav Pashchuk. Although I have completed 5 projects on Kickstarter, this is the first deck to be printed by USPCC. Therefore, the quality of card performance must be of the highest standard.

The work on the design and art of this deck took almost a year. The idea of ​​making a deck dedicated to the Amazons arised a long time ago because these women warriors were a real historical fact. When creating the heroines, I did not try to strictly adhere to any rigorous historical reconstructions and costumes, but tried to imagine how beautiful these ancient warriors could have been. However, the characters' costumes and weapons are almost authentic. I made every effort to get really high quality cards and boxes, the most meticulous detailing and decoration. Found my true inspiration in the Kunsthistorisches Museum Wien (Art History Museum) near the Amazons Sarcophagus.

The tuck box has its own insignia - it has the symbols of the shield and the spear, the minimal architectural components, as well as the Latin expressions of that era.

This deck will be the first in series of female Amazons. So far, the next two decks will be dedicated to Amazons Samurais and Amazons Vikings. This deck has 2 editions - Ephebes and Ephoros. Ephoros edition is the stretch goal - when unlocked you can choose any edition in your pledges.

Main features:

Printed by USPCC

Golden, Green and Black foils on the tuck box

Embossing on the tuck box

Custom Tuck Box, cards and back

Linen Finish

Classic Paper

Ephoros Edition Deck as a goal

The Bicycle Stained Glass Phoenix Playing Cards is just as mythical and magical as it sounds. The Phoenix symbolism is that of resurrection and renewal. If it perceives impending death, the Phoenix ignites itself into a sea of fire and soon rises from its ashes as new. This is your chance to own this amazing deck of cards and pair it with Collectable Playing Cards' previous Stained Glass Deck.

The tuck case pairs the fiery orange Phoenix glow with an icy blue. The glass has been cut into jagged pieces of art.

The back card displays different shades of orange. If you look closely, you can see the wingspan and piercing eyes gaze back at you.

The courts, along with the numbered cards, have a dark and eerie sense to them, as if you have just walked into the dark ages. The Phoenix lives within each card in the deck.

All of the card faces appear to be beautiful works of stained glass. You'll love showing these off!

Gemini is a deck of completely custom illustrated poker size playing cards. The deck will be printed by Expert Playing Card Co. (NY, USA) on casino grade paper stock with their Classic Finish coating. While the campaign is run from here in Stockholm and is in Swedish crowns (SEK), the rewards will be fulfilled from the US.The choice of the name Gemini is based on the peculiarity of the court cards (JQK). At first glance the figures of each card look perfectly symmetrical, but they are not. I depicted them as twins (Gemini in latin) but they are not identical, so you will see small differences when you look closely. I thought that the Gemini zodiac sign would fit this idea, so it gets a bit astrological in its design. The archetype of Gemini is fascinating and intriguing.

With this deck, I wanted a classical, medieval feeling. The aces are depicted as axes and the figures on the court cards interact with their own pip, which becomes part of the illustration. The pips (2 to 10) are big and they take a lot of space. I used an unconventional index, which is horizontal instead of vertical. I used a prototype for testing and found that it is very playable and easy to read, especially for Burraco.

Gemini was made available as 3 different decks:

Gemini Terra: sienna back, tuck-box with embossing, copper and gold foil on thick black paper.

Gemini Ignis: red back, tuck-box with embossing, red and gold foil on thick black paper.

Gemini Noctis (stretch goal added later in project): blue back, tuck-box with embossing, silver (or silver-aqua) foil, black foil on black paper, and foil on the back of the cards.
