Fimbul Playing Cards by Design Imperator

Fimbul Playing Cards is a Norse mythology-inspired collection created by the Scandinavian team at Design Imperator. Produced in two luxurious editions: Bifrost and Naglfar, the Kickstarter project combines hand-illustrated Viking artwork, rainbow holographic finishes, embossed bronze-foiled tuck boxes, and mythological storytelling into a richly detailed collector’s release.

The Bifrost Edition represents the legendary rainbow bridge connecting Midgard and Asgard. Its tuck case features bronze foil, deep embossing, and shimmering rainbow accents inspired by the northern lights, while the rainbow gilded edges and holographic card backs reinforce the celestial theme. 

The custom courts portray Viking warriors in their mortal forms through fully illustrated two-way designs, paired with Norse-inspired pips and cinematic battle imagery throughout the deck. The Naglfar Edition explores the darker side of Ragnarok, depicting the mythical ship of nails that carries the undead army into the final battle. The tuck box features bronze foil detailing alongside glowing blue flame motifs surrounding the gates of Hel. 

Its holographic rainbow gilding creates a fiery metallic effect across the edges, while the custom courts reimagine the Vikings as undead warriors marching across the battlefield of Vigridr. The collection also includes the Helvegr display box designed to house both decks together, continuing the project’s emphasis on premium presentation and Norse-inspired craftsmanship.

Both editions are printed by WJPC on premium stock with fully custom artwork, numbered seals, embossed tuck boxes, rainbow gloss card backs, and limited print runs capped at 1,500 decks per edition. Pledge starts at $25 on Kickstarter.
