Bloom Playing Cards Unveils The Door Gods Playing Cards

Bloom Playing Cards has released The Door Gods Playing Cards on Kickstarter, a new collection inspired by the traditional Menshen (Door Gods) of Chinese folklore. The release is the latest entry in Room One's Collection System and celebrates the guardian deities believed to protect homes from evil spirits.

The series consists of four editions representing the changing seasons: Spring and Summer Standard Editions, alongside Autumn and Winter Special Editions. The Special Editions feature metallic cold-foil card faces and gilded edges, while all four decks showcase fully custom artwork inspired by traditional Chinese architecture, porcelain, and ornamental roof tiles.

Court cards depict legendary Door Gods, including Shenshu, Yulü, and other historic guardian figures, while the number cards combine to form panoramic seasonal garden scenes when displayed in sequence or as uncut sheets. 

Each edition also features a custom lattice window-inspired back design reflecting its seasonal color palette.

Collectors can also choose from themed box sets, a matching collector's coin, stickers, posters, and uncut sheets, offering multiple ways to display the artwork beyond the decks themselves.

With its blend of East Asian cultural heritage, intricate illustration, and premium finishes, The Door Gods Playing Cards continues Bloom Playing Cards' focus on folklore-inspired collector decks. Pledge starts at $16 on Kickstarter.
