The Playing Cards

These are easily the most gorgeous cards I own; the artistry on every single one makes even a simple game of solitaire feel special. I actually paused to admire the illustrations before shuffling, which has never happened with a standard deck.

Every card feels like a mini art piece — I keep pulling out the court cards just to admire the detail. The deck handles well for poker nights and the illustrations make it a great conversation starter.

The illustrations have that same clever, detailed style from the guidebook, which is exactly why I picked these up. They feel sturdy enough for regular shuffling, though I wish the box was a bit more premium for the price.
