Street art meets Baroque in this luminous, hand-painted deck. A juicy mix of risk and art, “Bohemia” is a Limited Edition Original. Bohemia – an entirely hand-painted and hand-lettered playing card deck. Bohemia is the second limited-edition Uusi deck in a planned six-deck series.
The artwork for Bohemia was inspired by the unlikely pairing of 17th-century Baroque style with contemporary, urban street art.

This deck is perfect for your neighborhood or family poker game, a few heated rounds of gin rummy, spades or hearts with friends or simply to add a little drama to your favorite game of solitaire.

For the collector, it is a true original with an attractive, unique tuck box and made in limited quantities.
