DeviantART: Playing Cards by Alexey Lipatov

Playing cards designed by the Russian artist Alexey Lipatov [Lipatov’s gallery on DeviantART].

They are dedicated to mobster’s years… for example, of Chicago. Tommy guns were the best friends of mobsters (gangsters) and Fords were their reliable vehicles. But those vehicles quite often required some care of a mechanic after another redivision of territories. And all that was for the benefit of a boss (a godfather of mafia). And of course any boss had to have a beautiful lover.

Hatter M Deck of Cards

A Hatter M: The Looking Glass Wars themed deck (with a Wonderland twist) of playing cards designed by Frank Beddor. © 2012 Automatic Pictures, Inc.

The Royal Hierarchy of the Wonderland Deck

To the horror of the Jack of Diamonds this deck contains not a single Jack! Jacks have been banished with the Princess cards taking their place in the Queendom’s triumvirate of royal cards. Power rankings are unique to Wonderland’s matriarchal rule as well, with the Queen being top card, the Princess top card in-waiting and the King, though third in power for the deck, ranking below the Queen and Princess cards. You may play any of your favorite card games with this deck and use the Princess card as a Jack along with the status quo point rankings or you can use your Imagination and give a Wonderland twist to your competitions.

Jokers are Lewis Carroll.

Redd Alert! – These cards have become extremely popular due to a printing error – the Jack of Diamonds has found his way onto the outside of the tuck box! Rest assured, only Princesses, not Jacks, adorn the cards inside. Future print runs will have this error corrected, thus making this set a limited edition!

The deck: 52 playing cards + 2 Jokers, 1 infromation card. It comes with a printed tuck case.

Lucky Deck Playing Cards by Jessica Siemens

Lucky Deck Playing Cards are comprised of 54 unique watercolor paintings by Jessica Siemens. These cards are 100% plastic. The cards are available on Etsy. © Jessica Siemens

All red (Hearts, Diamonds) court cards are the same as well as all black (Spades, Clubs) court cards. The King of Hearts is armed with swords and shields. The King of Clubs is armed only with sword. The Queen of Spades is armed wit a sword and dagger. The Jack of Diamonds is a hunter with a falcon on his hand. The Jack of Clubs feeds a squirrel. Each symmetrical part of court cards has different elements (faces of royals, colours, etc.). Pips of Aces evoke thoughts about cut jewels or medieval stained-glass windows.
