Kat Zinn designed this deck over a period of seven years. She decided to diversify this deck and she made a Joker and a Joketress instead of two traditional Jokers. There are also appropriate drawn numbers against the background with big pips on all number cards instead of traditional pips.These playing cards are slightly larger than standard poker size.
