Fulton's October Tombstone Grey Playing Cards

Fulton's October Tombstone Grey Playing Cards mark the return of a classic in its most refined and haunting form. Originally conceived as a very different design, the deck evolved over time into the quintessential choice for the Halloween season. 

In revisiting the archives, an early and previously unreleased version by renowned illustrator Steven Noble resurfaced—one that perfectly captured the spirit of the series. First envisioned in 2013, this edition can be seen as the “version 0,” now brought to life in full to honor the enduring legacy of Fulton's October.

This Ultimate Edition features a completely new take on the iconic back design, presented in a borderless format. The intricate ironwork that once framed the design now stretches to the edges, creating a more minimal, untamed aesthetic that enhances the eerie beauty of the deck.

The cards themselves are rendered in Tombstone Grey, with carefully placed accents of white adding depth and contrast to both the backs and faces.

The tuck box showcases a newly imagined design, complete with an ornate border inspired by the legendary iron gates of October. It’s finished with embossing and features hand-illustrated interior printing, making even the packaging a collector’s piece.

Available NOW on Fulton's Playing Cards for $20.

The Bicycle Ghosts of Tombstone Playing Cards

The Bicycle Ghosts of Tombstone Playing Cards by PlayingCardDecks brings the old west legends, outlaws, and lawmen of Tombstone, Arizona back to life on every card. Inspired by the ghostly tales and historic figures who shaped this “Town Too Tough to Die,” artist Artur Rajch has created a deck steeped in western atmosphere and rich storytelling.

From the dusty streets where the infamous 1881 Gunfight at the OK Corral erupted, to the smoky saloons and the rowdy Bird Cage Theater, the imagery captures the grit, danger, and drama of Tombstone’s past. 

Figures like Wyatt Earp and Doc Holliday appear alongside gamblers, gunslingers, and performers whose stories live on in both history books and whispered ghost stories. 

The weathered tombstones of Boothill Graveyard become silent witnesses, their engraved names reminding us of bravery, betrayal, and bloodshed. Every face card is a piece of art, meticulously designed to immerse you in the time and place of the American frontier.  The deck’s custom tuck seal features bold western iconography and the historic date “1881” in tribute to the most famous gunfight in western history. 

Printed by the USPCC and pledge starts at $12 on Kickstarter.

Love & Retribution Playing Cards

Launching on Kickstarter on Tuesday, 26th August 2025, the latest campaign from husband & wife team A Haines Playing Cards: Love & Retribution.

Set in 1800s England, Love & Retribution tells the forbidden love story of Sarah Fairhurst and Henry Williams, two people born worlds apart but brought together by fate; and features two decks of playing cards intricately hand illustrated by Alex, a book written by Charlotte, a mini deck and a collectable coin.

Both tucks feature intricate illustration enhanced by tactile papers and foil elements with deck 2 sporting a stunning fully foiled tuck in silver and blue foil.

Featuring the first mini deck from AHPC, named after Dash, Henry’s loyal canine companion, a full 54-card deck featuring 1800s style classic faces without indices and retro back design in a vintage brown.

The Parlour Royale Playing Cards on Kickstarter

The Parlour Royale Playing Cards mark a grand return to the origins of The Gentleman Wake’s first deck, reimagined by Stockholm17. Six years after the original release, this revival blends the elegance, and class that defined the series with new design elements.

The back design introduces a sophisticated hourglass silhouette framing the TGW spade monogram, a nod to the passage of time since the first edition. Ornate scrollwork and rhinoceros beetle motifs add layers of Victorian-inspired detail, while shimmering cold foil brings a luxurious sheen. 

Each edition: Ivory, Legacy, and the limited Prism offers its own distinct visual identity, from the warm, eggshell tones of Ivory to the rich gold gilding of Legacy and the mesmerizing prismatic holo-foil of Prism.

Every court card is fully custom yet instantly recognizable, adorned with subtle Victorian flourishes and accented in foil. The aces are illustrated with intricate backdrops, featuring characters like Rey Roy-Owl and the winged rhinoceros beetle, while the jokers continue the deck’s tradition of whimsical, anthropomorphic figures. 

The tuck cases are as elaborate as the cards themselves, with embossed foil printing, ornate typography, and die-cut windows that frame the owl-and-beetle Ace of Spades. The interior patterns and color choices, from vermillion in Ivory to metallic gold in Legacy and vivid purple in Prism elevate each edition into a work of art.

Printed by WJPC on 310gsm smooth-handling paper stock with a linen finish. Pledge starts at $17 on Kickstarter.

Bicycle Quiccs Playing Cards by RunIt Decks

Bicycle Quiccs Playing Cards marks the 10th release from RunIt Decks, uniting the world-renowned artistry of Quiccs with Bicycle. 

Born in the bustling Tiger City of Mandaluyong, Philippines, Quiccs has risen from a local creative to a global force, blending Japanese mecha, hip-hop, and street art into a style that has left its mark from Manila to New York and beyond. Through his Bulletpunk Universe and signature TEQ63 character, he has redefined the Filipino designer toy scene, inspiring an entire generation of artists.

Meanwhile, the Ghost White edition comes housed features a clean white base contrasted with bold black detailing, accented with precise hits of red for a sharp, surgical edge. The overall design presents a cold and commanding presence that expands the visual language of the Bulletpunk Universe.
