Elite Playing Cards (Ritual, Bicycle Divine, Bicycle Majestic, Bicycle Platinum decks) decided to produce a new cyberpunk deck of playing cards. The Bicycle Evolution deck features 56 fully customized playing cards. It is planned to be printed by the USPCC.
From Magellan to the modern day, Scopa, the classic Italian card game, has been enjoyed for nearly 500 years. Players capture cards from a central area to score points at the end of each round or “sweep” the table clean of cards (Scopa means sweep in Italian). The first player to collect 11 points over a series of rounds wins the game.
Scopa is played with a 40 card deck, 10 cards in four different suits. The suits in a traditional Scopa deck are swords, cups, clubs (literal clubs), and coins. Each suit has cards ranked from ace to seven and three face cards: The King, The Knight, and The Squire (or in some decks, The Lady).
This Gamer’s Edition of Scopa replaces the traditional suits with game components: dice, dominoes, clubs (the card suit), and meeples. Here are some examples of the new suit designs and artwork.

The designer of Timeless deck and Butterfly deck made for RSVP Magic decided to propose people his own project – Bicycle Venexiana Playing Cards.
“Venexiana” – this is how the word “Veneziana” is written in the area of Veneto, in northern Italy. It’s familiar but at the same time strange, exactly as Venice itself. Venice is not just a beautiful city. It’s an impossible invention of time.
Inspired by designer’s love for this aged beauty, “Venexiana” recalls the elegance, playfulness and mystery of early 18th century Venice. It’s a completely custom deck, and every element, from pips to courts is entirely designed by Lotrek (the designer and owner of Half Moon Playing Cards). It is planned to be printed by USPCC.
52 unique playing card mazes conveniently printed as a playable deck of cards. Together the entire deck makes one large maze. Playing cards designed by Brian from Teach By Magic. It is planned to be printed by USPCC.
Inspired by the works of Lewis Carroll, this is the newest Bicycle deck from Albino Dragon (Shane Tyree – the artist, Erik Dahlman – CEO). Printed by the USPCC.
