The discovery of gold in the Black Hills in 1874 sparked one of the greatest gold rushes of American history. The WILD WEST: The Black Hills Deck focuses on iconic characters and legends from the Black Hills and Deadwood areas. Every element in the Cards and Tuck, except for the Fonts and Tuck Interior Map, were hand-drawn in pencil by Randy Butterfield.

Soundboards Playing Cards were first created by Patrick Varnavas in 2014 and then released in 2015. That first edition was printed in blue and shortly after a red version was teased but never ended up becoming a reality. Now, for the first time since their original 2015 release, new Soundboards are being printed through collaboration between Patrick Varnavas and Riffle Shuffle. It is an honor to introduce the newest edition of Soundboards to the world after nearly 4 years of waiting.

The Soundboards deck was created to celebrate vintage audio gear like 80s cassette players and gramophones. The back design incorporates major pieces of audio equipment from different eras into one harmonious setup. The design is detailed and easy to stare, finding a balance between simplicity and complexity. The deck’s traditionally reversible and intricate back design, illustrated by Stuart Palm, has held up over the years and has been left largely unchanged in this red edition with the exception of a few small details.

This time the cards are coming from USPCC on their Crushed Premium stock, a welcome change for all card handlers. Limited Edition of 2500 Decks. Every detail from the original Soundboard’s memorable box has been faithfully recreated in this new red edition featuring added structural improvements to enhance the box’s functionality. Fans of the original deck will feel the nostalgia immediately and the deck’s ties to vintage audio gear will get everybody else feeling the nostalgia too. Both the richness of the era it represents and its complex but comfortable design make the Soundboards a deck that’s sure to resonate with all who find it.

ARISTO STEAMPUNK PLAYING CARDS is a deck of playing cards with 54 STEAMPUNK themed retro-futuristic hand-drawings! We've put together some awesome ideas of steampunk in art and playing cards, that really epitomize its incredible style. A real thing of exclusive artwork. Our desire was to create something a bit more rare, giving cardists something more meaningful.

The concept of this deck is to present steampunk in a completely imaginary realm coexisting with steam-era and other anachronistic technologies.

The Court cards follow the characters in steampunk outfits with heavy gun, bowler hat, goggle and military-inspired garments that have been anticipated by mainstream high fashion, the Lolita and Aristocrat styles.

The unique feature of this deck is its one-of-a-kind fantasy story style and highly complicated and advanced hand drawing. We wanted to add this touch for enthusiasts, collectors, cardists, and of course illusionists.

ARISTO STEAMPUNK PLAYING CARDS is printed by USPCC with their outstanding papers, superb inks and exceptional finishes. We know that their decks are the highest possible quality.

This deck was funded through a Kickstarter campaign: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2104052526/bicycle-cardistry-explostar-playing-cards

The dreamer is the center of all dream experiences. When we are dreaming, we are often avatars of our woken selves. We manifest, occasionally, as specific personas and alter egos, but we are almost never aware of those manifestations when we are dreaming. We may look different, we may be of the opposite gender, we can be younger or older or we can be someone else. To the dreamer, the dream is reality. Lepidopterological musings aside, we have to agree with the Taoist allegory that it is sometimes hard to tell what is dream and what is reality.

The Samedi Deck is a custom Kickstarter-exclusive set of handcrafted playing cards homegrown in the US of A and printed by the USPCC. In celebration of Voodoo culture and Baron Samedi, the Voodoo Loa (god) of the Dead, the Samedi deck goes beyond the pop culture version of Voodoo that is commonly encountered.

Instead, it presents a unique aesthetic drawn from the long tradition of Voodoo imagery, beliefs, and culture, honoring those gods and goddesses which are not readily known in western society. The completed deck embodies a sleek, minimalist style that strikes a balance between modern sensibilities and classical designs.
