Have a Look at the 2024 52 Plus Joker Club Deck

The 2024 52 Plus Joker club deck, designed by Elettra Deganello, is a tribute to the original work of Andrew Dougherty, one of the most iconic playing card makers in history. The 2024 club deck masterfully updates Dougherty’s classic designs with a contemporary touch, offering a mix of tradition and modernity.

Unveiled at the 52 Plus Joker convention held at Sheraton Niagara Falls, this limited-edition deck celebrates the art of playing cards in a truly unique way. The 52 Plus Joker Club features reimagined custom court cards with motifs that reflect Dougherty’s timeless influence.

The deck’s luxurious foil-backed classic borderless cards are visually stunning. The face cards are equally remarkable.

The courts inspired by Dougherty’s first court cards, are adorned with intricate foil accents, giving them a luxurious touch that elevates their aesthetic appeal. 

Housed in a unique wrapper-made tuck box, the 2024 Club Deck features textured & foiled by Boschiero & Newton. The custom seal bearing the 52 Plus Joker logo completes the package.

Printed by the Legends Playing Card Co. Available exclusively to members (with a limit of three decks per member) at 52 Plus Joker website.

Once Upon a Time Playing Cards on Kickstarter


Once Upon a Time playing cards are a collaborative project between Parama Playing Cards and teachers & students from the Faccio School of Art in Italy. This unique collection was conceived during the 2020 lockdown, providing an opportunity for young artists to channel their creativity and work on a real-world project. 


The theme chosen for this deck revolves around classic fairy tales, selected for their rich imagery and strong aesthetic appeal. The students focused on some of the most beloved stories by the Grimm Brothers. Each suit is brought to life with intricate designs and characters set against a subtle scroll-like background. 
  • Hearts: Sleeping Beauty
  • Diamonds: Little Red Riding Hood
  • Spades: Hansel and Gretel
  • Clubs: Snow White
The court cards showcase figures dressed in traditional attire, enhanced by ancient patterns that symbolize harmony and beauty. The pips and jokers are designed to maintain a cohesive and enchanting atmosphere, with the forest acting as the central motif that ties all the stories together. 



The entire deck is infused with a magical aura, reminiscent of the fairy tales themselves. The card backs feature a dense weave of branches and natural elements, while the suits are depicted with unique, story-inspired artwork. The color palette is dominated by pastel shades that evoke an enchanted and whimsical atmosphere, staying true to the essence of the tales.



The tuck box design draws inspiration from Gothic architecture, presenting the facade of an ancient building with mullioned windows that reveal a nighttime woodland scene. The use of dark, cold tones, complemented by intricate branch textures, adds to the deck's allure.
