Kickstarter: Loteria Playing Card by DNIGMA Co.

Loteria Playing Card is based on the classic Mexican game, Loteria, with a touch of elegance, modern vision and character into every single card, which can be used to play the traditional game.

Designed by DNIGMA Co. the deck merges rich vibrant colors and patterns to create a sense of energy on each card. They were illustrated and modernized into 21st-century trends without losing its traditional identity.

In collaboration with 1 Simple Idea (1SI), we created a new and one of its kind playing cards deck, inspired by the traditional Mexican game. Tapping into historical Mexican traditions, Loteria Playing Cards references the unique and classic board game "La Loteria".

The deck is fully custom with reimagined pips & indices, meticulous hand-illustrated court cards, a gorgeous ace of spades and captivating back design. The idea is to create a deck that gives a sense of warmth, friendship and family that can be attributed to the Mexican culture,

We are not afraid to combine colors and shapes. Our design of the back letter is inspired by the essence of our Mexican folklore since figures were used organic similar to those you can find in many crafts from various states of our country. This design is so exquisite, that it combines functionality and art.

Also included on the card backs is a marking system that can the identity of the card in seconds. Personally, I am not sure how well this will go down, especially if you are using the deck for the card game. But it will be a cool deck for magicians who want a cool narrative and focus on their performance.

The deck is currently funding on Kickstarter and is 36% funded with 14 days to go. Pledge starts at
$14 and features a Premium CRUSHED Stock with a Silky and Smooth Linen Air Cushion Finish printed by the United States Playing Card Co.

Card Flash: IMPERIO Playing Cards by DNIGMA

The team at DNIGMA has just completed the fulfillment stage of IMPERIO Playing Cards. The deck was successfully funded late last year on Kickstarter raising over $10k in funds.



The design of the IMPERIO deck is based on the prehispanic cultures of Mexico- the Mayans and Aztecs. The hand illustrated artwork on the face cards are unique and highly detailed. The Aces, in particular, are truly well done- seamlessly incorporating both the Mayan and Aztec designs.

The intriguing mirrored back design is a variation of the Aztec calendar. The design team took a few elements from the Aztec calendar and gave it a modern touch- thus elegantly merging the past and the future and at the same time giving it a sophisticated look and feel.

The artwork on the tuck box depicts the feathered serpent. Quetzalcoatl as known by the Aztecs and Kulkulkan as known by the Mayans worshiped the same god but depicted them differently. The design combines two prehispanic tribes cultures together.

IMPERIO is VERY well thought out and perfect for collectors and fans of art & design. For a first deck, the team at DNIGMA did an incredible job bringing this deck to market. The design and artwork are unique and highly detailed. Also, the theme has been applied consistently throughout with a muted color palette look. If only the tuck box was foiled and embossed, the deck will be almost perfect. Hopefully, this will be incorporated into a future version.

Kudos to the team at DNIGMA for an incredible first effort. Can't wait to see what's next.
