The Limited Edition Flare Playing Cards

Flare Playing Cards is a striking collaboration between Canadian cybersecurity company Flare.io and Thirdway Industries. The deck is inspired by hackers, digital threats, and the hidden layers of the internet. Designed by Giovanni Meroni, this deck serves as the official playing cards of Flare.io and stands out as one of the most concept-driven releases in recent memory.

Like all Thirdway's deck, this custom deck features a lore where the four suits represent opposing forces in cyberspace. Hearts and Diamonds embody threats such as social engineering, malware, and automated attacks, while Spades and Clubs symbolize the analysts, researchers, and defenders working to stop them.

Each court card is thoughtfully illustrated as a specific role within this digital battlefield, transforming familiar figures into phishers, ransomware operators, SOC analysts, CISOs, and cyber law enforcers.

The Jokers continue the theme with clever symbolism. One represents the onion, a nod to the Tor network and the anonymous, unpredictable nature of the dark web. The other reimagines Telegram as a vintage communication device, referencing its central role in modern cybercrime networks. 

The luxury tuck box is finished with custom paper and silver foil, reinforcing the deck’s high-end feel.

Printed by the United States Playing Card Company, Flare Playing Cards feature pure silver metallic ink on the cards themselves, adding a sleek, technical sheen that complements the theme. Limited quantities available on Thirdway Industries for $28.
