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.

We haven't created a new playing card deck for our studio in over five years, so it's pretty exciting for us to introduce "Republic," a custom playing card deck based on Finnish/Nordic folk art and design. There is a large Finnish community in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan where our studio is located, especially in our hometown of Republic. We are excited to have a deck that bears the name of this local community that we love so much and cannot wait to share it with you when it arrives at the studio in June!

Bohemia is the second deck in Uusi\\\'s eventual six deck series. The artwork for Bohemia was inspired by the unlikely pairing of 17th-century Baroque style with contemporary, urban street art. Each have a flair for drama, tension and grandeur that when mixed together create one lush, combustible style! All imagery in the deck is taken from entirely hand-painted, gouache illustrations. Every single card, right down to the pips and indices is painted in varying shades of luminous blue for the dark suits of Spades and Clubs and lushly romantic red for the light suits of Hearts and Diamonds. Bohemia Rare Smooth Tuck Deck is 250 limited edition run available in both red and blue.

Pagan Circular Deck We have always wanted to create a circular deck ever since falling in love with The Master of PW's, Medieval round decks and finally decided to take the leap using our PO tarot Courts. We feel they have the perfect look for this kind of canvas and hope you agree!!
