On Kickstarter, Kingdom of EDEN Playing Cards

 

Now funding on Kickstarter, Kingdom of EDEN is a new fine art playing card series featuring fully custom artwork, original storytelling, and a range of premium collector-focused accessories. Created by The Other Self Studio, the project blends traditional pencil illustration with modern graphic design to build a unique fantasy world centered around the rise and corruption of the fictional Kingdom of Eden.

The narrative follows King Fidibus, whose kingdom is transformed after taking the advice of a mysterious worm hidden inside an apple. As prosperity grows, so do the worms, eventually evolving into serpents and triggering political intrigue, power struggles, and the decline of the kingdom. This story is woven throughout the deck designs, court cards, and accompanying booklet.

The series is available in three editions: Obedience (sandstone), Temptation (black), and Dominion (red), each featuring its own color scheme, back design, and customized Ace artwork. 

The card backs visually depict a king's fingers gradually transforming into worms while reaching for an apple, reflecting the deck's central theme of temptation and corruption.

During the campaign, collectors can also obtain a premium hardbox set containing all three editions, a 50mm brushed-gold Dodonot Coin, and a printed companion booklet that expands on the lore and backstories of the kingdom's characters.
