Card Experiment (Bicycle Asura Playing Cards, Babel Playing Cards) is going to release its third deck on their site – Utopia Playing Cards
“Utopia: A seemingly perfect and ideal place. When ideals collide, Utopia descends into Dystopia. The Utopia deck toys with the notions of loss of self and identity as well as conformity using highly structured and similar arrangements dosed with a touch of surrealistic imagery.” ~ Card Experiment
Playing card were designed by Tarin Yuangtrakul (Tab). He is an artist, illustrator, and graphic designer from Bangkok, Thailand. His illustration style is rough and abrasive in the most beautiful, intricate way. Full of movement, emotion and aggressive lines, Tarin creates his renderings combining both traditional and digital media.
The deck:
Utopia Playing Cards: Tuck Case
“October 1st, as the Harvest Moon Rise, pranks are pulled by those in guise. Fulton returns back from the dead, new ideas spring from his head. He brings life to our favorite time of year, with 52 spirits for you to fear.
The frightfully fun and whimsically illustrated artwork of Steven Noble will send shivers down your spine.
Packaged inside the box you will find one tricked out deck of playing cards. Everything from the back design, ace of spades, jokers, and court cards were customized.” ~ Dan and Dave Playing Card Co.
The Ace of Spades designed by the American artist Jason Brooks. The image was inspired by classic pin-up playing cards of the Mad Men era 1950’s and early 60’s.

Today read several words about another decks produced by two brothers Dan and Dave (The D&D Playing Card Co.). This is a set (pair) of playing card decks – Vintage Plaid Playing Cards: Casual California Blue Deck and Striking Arizona Red Deck. Two decks from two brothers… it is quite symbolic 🙂 Both decks were printed by USPCC in 2011.
These are not the first decks from D&D mentioned on pages of this blog. You can find other decks and additional information about the D&D Playing Card Co. on it.
“For us, these cards bring back fond memories of childhood camping trips with our grandfather. Watching him pitch a tent, reel in a fish, and bring fire ablaze under a starry night were magical moments we never forgot. In honor of those days by the river and nights under the stars, we are proud to offer these new playing cards.” ~ Dan and Dave Bucks.
The deck: 52 playing cards + 2 Jokers + 2 Information cards. Poker size. Playing cards are printed on a premium stock and have a Cambric finish (“embossed”).
