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.

The WILD WEST: The Black Hills Deck is printed by Legends Playing Card Co., with their Taiwan printer, and utilizes their exceptional Classic Finish. The Tuck Box utilizes a premium Matte paper stock, 4-Color Process graphics, Gold FOIL, White PANTONE Ink, clear UV Spot Ink and Embossing. The Back-Card Design is featured on the Tuck Back, and a Native American Village pencil drawing and WILD WEST: The Black Hills Logo are prominent on the Tuck Front. The Tuck Interior includes a 4-Color Process map of the Black Hills region in the late 1800s. The Back-Card features hand-drawn decorative elements in gun metal grey with brown accents. The Court Cards include historic characters such as Wild Bill Hickok, Calamity Jane, Seth Bullock, Annie Oakley, General Custer, Sitting Bull, Buffalo Bill Cody, Crazy Horse and more. The Sepia Tone Courts contrast beautifully against the light grey background colors. Similar to the Courts, the Aces, Jokers, Backgrounds and PIPs were all hand-drawn in pencil. The Jokers feature a full-body drawing of Wild Bill Hickok.

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.

Pirates - Hearts: The first human colonies in Mars did not take long to declare independent triggering a ruthless civil war, the earth government as part of plan to retake the Martian control canceled the oxygen supplies to the planet, now the pirates traffic with the precious element that they sell to poor communities and although they seem to be like Robin Hood, but they aren't.

Yaxuka - Diamonds: To keep power the corporations need their detractors to suffer "unfortunate accidents" and what better way to cause this than a bloody and silent elite unit, nobody has seen them, they are an urban myth, if you do see one someone, it will be the last thing you see.

Every society has a story rooted in its most ancient traditions, of how the earth and sky originated. Most of these stories attribute the origin of all things to a Creator - whether God, Element or Idea.

The ancient Greeks had a great variety of myths relating to the history of the world. Although they all shared a language and a culture, each village, each tribe had its own beliefs, its own version of the Creation story and its own gods who were responsible for cosmic order. Hesiod's Theogony (8th-7th century BC) was the first attempt to synthesize these traditions, which probably dated back to the Assyrian and Babylonian civilizations.

In recounting the stages in the emergence of the gods from primordial chaos, Theogony offered an answer to the eternal questions of cosmogony: who created the world; what were the basic materials from which it was made; which came first, the gods, the stars or the elements? Not only did Theogony have a strong influence on Greek thought, it also anticipated in some ways today's theories of the origin of the world, particularly the idea of primordial chaos.

Primordial playing cards by Costa Pantazis and designed by Charles Adi (Blackout Brother) are based on this idea. The primordial deities are the first gods and goddesses born from the void of Chaos who formed the very fabric of the universe, were known as the Protogenoi (protos meaning "first," and genos "born").

A limited edition 1,500 print deck production run, Primordial Playing Cards (Chaos Deck) will feature hand-crafted detailed artwork, red metallic inks and foil embossed tuck-boxes. Full Deck Scan: https://cardscans.piwigo.com/index?/category/200-primordial_red
