This deck is similar in design to a standard deck of cards but with some custom variations that give it a cool and colorful design. This is a four color pips deck, but I still tried to keep it traditional by having two colored suits black and white. This is a Special Kickstarter only deck, only 1,000 decks will be printed. So what is different with version 2? Rainbow Illusion version 2 features a different design on the card back and all new court card artwork. The colors are similar but much lighter the tuck box is going to be inverted so that most of the box is a metallic rainbow foil look with just the circle design in the corner on black. It is the same material as the first deck and similar to the Alloy Playing Cards from Gamblers. The aces have been updated and only the jokers remain the same and the placement of the pips.

Created and printed by fellow member Mark Stutzman (Eloqui), and William Kalush (Expert Playing Card Company) exclusively for the 52 Plus Joker. This limited edition decks design is an homage to playing card historian, Tom Dawson. Fully customized. Original decks had a typo: "Tiwan" on the bottom of the tuck and the 6 of Clubs were misprinted (they have 7 pips). Complete decks should include corrected Tuck and corrected 6 of Clubs.

National Playing Card Collection Day was created to help spread awareness of our art to the world. It accompanied the launch of Portfolio52, the world's largest online playing card database. The free service offers an easier way for collectors to discover and manage their personal collections. A limited edition deck of 400 was crafted by Alexander Chin to commemorate this holiday.

Chancellor follows in the footsteps of Zenith and is possibly the most beautiful deck we have created. Inspired by a small detail on a century-old Bicycle card back, Chancellor grew into an incredibly detailed artwork, packing all of the experience and design innovations that Encarded has developed since our founding in 2011.

There will be just 1000 decks of Chancellor printed. The Chancellor tuck is incredible, with thick matte black paper, two foils and large scale, incredibly detailed blind embossing. The deck is sealed with a beautiful metallic foil seal, individually numbered and carefully designed to integrate with the tuck design.

The card backs are printed on the same Master finish stock as Zenith and features FOUR metallic inks that intertwine into a detailed, "shadow bordered" back with subtle edge details and dimension. The faces are fully custom, with a dramatic court featuring beautiful detail and unique colorations. 

Per direct update from the artist - 550 decks were printed + 30 uncut sheets

From KickStarter project:

Thank you so much for taking the time to check out my project!

I am Natalia Silva, the designer and artist behind “Love U” playing cards. I am excited to share my art with you, and I hope that with your support, we can make this deck a reality.

This is my 4th Kickstarter project! My "Russian Folk Art", "Love is..." and "Tuxedo" playing cards campaigns were successfully funded and printed by USPCC and MPC (available at: www.nataliasilva.net). I also designed "Christmas" playing cards :)

ABOUT "LOVE U" DECK:

"Love U" is the perfect gift, a super sweet and fun deck of playing cards all inspired by love. Each card has it's own unique design and quote about love.

Perfect for your loved ones for Valentine's Day!

"Love U" is a second limited edition of my "Love Collection" decks. My First edition ("Love is..." Playing Cards) was designed for Valentine's Day 2015 and completely sold out!

Printed by the Expert Playing Card Company, the Jetsetter Playing Cards is a Premier Edition deck in the Altitude Blue colorway.

THE DECK

The tuck case will have a vintage and classy feel with modern appeal. Once in your hand, at the right angle, you'll notice a clear UV spot coating creatively applied as the pattern of airplanes found on the front of the tuck. Furthermore, it will be produced with exclusive synthetic stock providing durability beyond your standard tuck case that plagues your everyday deck - perfect for traveling. The back design of the playing cards will showcase the Altitude Blue colorway with the same airplane pattern as the original Luxury Edition deck. We've added our new Jetsetter Playing Cards logo to the back design in the traditional two-way casino-style. Additionally, the custom Ace of Spades will prominently exhibit that same new logo.

The deck includes two untraditional, yet functional Jokers that resemble a pair of fictitious airline boarding passes for a round trip flight. Each of the Jokers will show variation between the two, making them ideal for gameplay. Hidden within one of the Jokers will be an Eight of Clubs reveal. Additionally, as an added bonus for the traveling magician, both Jokers will have a location dedicated for a written prediction or signature.

Jetsetter : Premier Edition Altitude Blue Features Include:

• Classic Finish on Cards
• Standard Court Cards Re-Colored
• Printed By Expert Playing Cards Company
• Designed by Paul Ruccio
• 2 Custom Joker Cards Resembling a Pair of Fictitious Airline Boarding Passes
• Custom Jetsetter Ace of Spade

Designed by Jason Brumbalow and released through Murphy\\\\\\\'s Magic, the Heat Edition in crimson and chrome was limited to 10,000 decks. It also came provided with a hardcover protective tuck case.

The Rose Deck will have a limited print run of only 1,000 decks through the United States Playing Card Company. Of those, 850 will be made available to Backers during the campaign.  The tuck case features a front gate in the foreground welcoming you to the Rose House, with an Anglo feel informing the lettering.  The deck back features design elements prevalent in Renaissance architecture and various royal palaces. In the center is the Rose window, with shading used throughout the design to add layers of depth, highlighted by gold accents.  For the Courts, we've used a painting-style approach, reflecting the popular trend of the aristocracy to immortalize itself in portraiture during the height of European monarchy.  We wanted each Court character's expression to tell a different story, whether it be Intrigue, seduction, or political scheming - all elements found in the parlors and reception rooms at a royal palace.

Priory Nave Edition Playing Cards

Created by Paul Carpenter, sold on his Encarded Webpage

The bold colors and sweeping lines of Priory may look modern, but the design is inspired by a small fresco motif found in a French church priory built in the 13th century.

The Nave Edition is numbered 1-500 and sealed with a custom holographic seal. The tuck box has no ink and uses silver holographic foil and embossing on a custom, rich blue cardstock to create a purposefully minimalistic version of the Priory design motif. The Nave edition is clean and composed on the outside, with a burst of colorful cards inside.

Priory Nave Edition Playing Cards

Created by Paul Carpenter, sold on his Encarded Webpage

The bold colors and sweeping lines of Priory may look modern, but the design is inspired by a small fresco motif found in a French church priory built in the 13th century.

The Primary Edition is numbered 1-1500 and sealed with a custom holographic seal. The tuck box is printed on a heavy duty gloss white cardstock with embossing and full coverage inks that highlight the bold colors of the Priory.

Priory is designed for motion and the repeated and rotated combination creates a dynamic visual movement that draws the eye back and forth across the design. Edge details mean that fans look amazing, and the unique coloring combination will certainly stand out from the crowd.

Every element is customized. Modern and unique pips adorn each face and the court figures feature bold and bright colors and reversed inks to create a visual impact.

Printed by the Expert Playing Card company on their latest Stud finish, the card feel is light and snappy, with excellent smoothness for fans and spreads. The cards measure out to a thin 15.5mm, vs 16.2mm or more for our previous decks. The deck faros easily and should handle well for both cardistry, sleights and general gaming use.
