Unity Volume Two Playing Cards

Unity Playing Cards Volume Two, led by Dexter Amistad, is an ambitious follow-up to the award-winning Unity One, which earned the prestigious 52 Plus Joker Diamond Award. Building on that success, this second volume expands the concept into a large-scale collaborative project, bringing together 28 designers from around the world under a shared theme: music and cards.

Inside, each card in the deck is created by a different artist, resulting in a diverse yet unified collection of styles, all interpreting musical expression through the structure of a standard deck. 

The courts transform into vivid performances, featuring musicians, instruments, and rhythmic compositions, while the number cards experiment with creative layouts that echo sound, motion, and melody. 

The aces serve as standout centerpieces, each one pushing the theme further with bold, imaginative designs.

Despite the wide range of artistic voices, the deck maintains cohesion through its shared concept and carefully designed elements, including a striking tuck box by Andy Kurovets. The tuck beutifully blends musical imagery: turntables, instruments, speakers, and dancers, with layered foiling and embossing... creating a high-end presentation that reflects the energy of the project.

Three main editions are on offer on Kickstarter: Just for Fun, Only for Fun, and To the Sky... are available in both Premium and Ultra formats. The Premium versions are non-gilded, while the Ultra editions feature numbered seals and metallic gilded edges in copper, silver, or gold. 

All versions include holographic foil accents on both the faces and backs, enhancing the visual impact with shifting light and color.

Printed by King Star and pledge starts at $18 on Kickstarter.
