Lotrek first announced Chronos Playing Cards during the 2019 52 Plus Joker Annual Convention held in Charlotte, North Carolina at the Hilton Charlotte University Place. As the name suggests, the theme of the beautiful deck is time.
Collectors or fans of Lotrek will recognize the familiar card back design, as it is based on Lotrek’s first deck, ‘Timeless’. The deck is fully custom from the pips, jokers to the court cards and Ace of Spades. All this while keeping the traditional elements of playing cards in place.
The beautiful tuck box is printed on double color pearlescent stock. What makes this deck really unique is that the tucks look like as if there were discovered in an attic where they had been forgotten for decades. Accroding to Lotrek,
What makes the deck unique though (apart from the fact that it’s my first deck without a delay) is that each and every tuck case is different. My partner Melania Damianou has “aged” the tuck cases -which are printed on watercolor paper- using a mixed media technique.
They are only 220 Collector’s edition decks in total, some of them were sold in 52plus joker convention and there will be another 180 available from Lotrek’s website on Saturday at 10:00am NY time.
