Jokers are the same in both decks and have stags on them. One stag has a small reveal – the Ace of Spades in his forehead. I have to think that this is a modern fun to throw aces in the head of a fictional stag. I guess brothers followed Baron Munchausen’s example but substituted a cherrystone with the ace. So some extra run of these playing cards is possible… some fictional extra run 😉

The Ace of Spades is very simple. Other aces are Bicycle traditional aces but with the above mentioned vintage twist.

Casual California Blue Deck: The Ace of Spades + the Ace of Hearts

Striking Arizona Red Deck: The Ace of Clubs + the Ace of Diamonds

Court cards are Bicycle standard court cards with faded colours. Striking Arizona Red playing cards can be counted more customized as all traditional blue elements of the Bicycle design were substituted with the same black elements.
