These playing cards were designed by the Polish artist, Roksana (NemezisAmaranth) and are dedicated to Greek Gods. This is an interesting combination of aged backgrounds and figures of court cards painted in a specific art style. The position of indices is disputable. Indices are English but names of Gods are in Polish.

NINTENDO PLAYING CARDS
Playing cards based on characters form Nintendo’s games and designed by the American artist Benjamin Arce (benarce).
Nintendo Co., Ltd. is a Japanese multinational consumer electronics company and one of the world’s largest video game companies. Originally it was founded as a card company in late 1889.
Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong
These characters are from the Donkey Kong series of arcade games developed by Nintendo. The first arcade game was created by Shigeru Miyamoto and released in 1981.
Several playing cards designed by the American artist, Emily J. Sampson (EJSCreations), as a project. This is a very interesting variation of symmetry in court cards. Such court cards can be nice for transformation decks.
The idea of the project was to design four playing cards on the basis of some fairy- or folk tale. She chose the Russian folk tale “The Fool of the World and the Flying Ship” (“Летучий корабль”).
Some brief description of the story for better understanding of the playing cards you can find here. Or you can see the International Emmy award winning British stop-motion adaptation of this folk tale***
