Dualism Chroma Playing Cards

Dualism Chroma, the latest creation from Thirdway Industries, explores the delicate balance between good and evil through this extraordinary playing cards series. Designer Giovanni Meroni transforms the eternal conflict of light and darkness into a tangible work of art, a meditation on humanity’s inner contradictions.

Three decks are on offer during the Kickstarter project: Dualism Nightfall, embodying darkness and corruption; Dualism Sunrise, representing purity and virtue; and Dualism Twilight, a striking fusion of the two, where good and evil meet in a single design. 

This new edition expands upon the original Dualism deck that debuted in 2024 as an exclusive reward for Thirdway Industries patrons. The Chroma version introduces new foil tones, upgraded materials, and refined print techniques, while retaining the same symbolic DNA that made the first edition a cult favorite.

Inside, the card backs feature an intricate design of a two-headed dragon, inspired by both the Ouroboros and Yin-Yang, symbols of eternity, self-destruction, and rebirth. The result is an image that feels ancient yet alive, evoking an endless struggle between creation and decay.

Each court card appears in three distinct forms across the decks benevolent in Sunrise, sinister in Nightfall, and divided in Twilight, where the artwork itself is split down the middle in a one-way configuration.

Also, the court cards in the deck personifies a human contrast: love and lust, order and tyranny, wisdom and arrogance- reflecting how fragile the line can be between virtue and corruption. Through its art, Dualism Chroma invites players and collectors alike to explore that ambiguity and, perhaps, to confront their own.

The decks are packaged in tuck box by Boschiero & Newton featuring pearlescent paper, holographic foil, and embossed detailing, both inside and out

Each deck is limited to 777 individually numbered units, ensuring exclusivity for collectors. Printed by Kingstar, the decks feature holographic cold foil on both the faces and backs. Pledge starts at $87 for a set on Kickstarter.
