First Look: Märchen Playing Cards by Forge Arts

[Update] Märchen Playing Cards are now LIVE on Kickstarter!

Forge Arts in collaboration with artist Nicolai Aaroe have revealed Märchen Playing Cards, their new deck of playing cards launching on Kickstarter tomorrow (7 Feb).

Märchen brings the mysterious world of German legend to life. The cards celebrate Germanic culture from the Brothers Grimm to the cuckoo clock, with lavish designs. Fully custom, the faces of the cards are drawn in metallic gold inks, protected by a matte finish.

Two limited editions will be available in the campaign: a green tuck box representing the enchanted forest of the Schwarzwald, and a cream tuck box standing for the medieval town of Hamelin.

The cards will be printed in Legends Playing Card Co on their diamond finish card stock. The Märchen Playing Cards will launch tomorrow on Kickstarter.
