Kickstarter: Omen (Pirate Edition) Playing Cards

It's been a while since we've seen a pirate-themed deck on Kickstarter and out of nowhere, the team at OMEN Playing Cards released a fully custom deck based on fantasy pirate's world. This is definitely a different style from their deck, OMEN Revolution.

OMEN Playing Cards has been created with the vision of bringing a new style of playing cards. OMEN is defined by its unique and innovative design, as well as its exclusive protector cases in each edition. The drawing style of the Pirate Edition is characterized by its designer Dave Navarro and aims to transmit the vision fantasy world to all playing cards lovers in an amazing Pirate's adventure.

The card backs feature a combination of the most iconic objects of the fantasy pirate's world. The rudder in the center symbolizes the letter O of OMEN in reference to our brand, which is represented in each edition. The faces have been updated to suit the pirate theme; their traditional and broken shapes allow a perfect understanding of the clubs and maintain a balance between the classic and our style.

The four aces are quite prominently displayed in the deck. They are larger and contain a special design that reflects the style of the deck. The figures have been meticulously designed and illustrated for each of the suits and figures.

Each pirate has its own story within this particular fantasy universe. Finally, with the OMEN logo in the center and wrapped by the Kraken, the jokers are the signature cards of this Pirates Deck.

The team OMEN aims to innovate and therefore provides you with its special OMEN Deck Case. Each edition seeks to create a unique deck case set in the specific theme and usable with any other deck of playing cards. The Pirates Edition box is designed to simulate a beautiful wooden chest, with gold ornaments and diamond details. The key lock is hidden when the box is closed but visible from the inside. The inner printing is a wooden texture just like a treasure chest.

The deck will be printed by Hanson Chien Production Co. on Vintage Paper Stock with Legendary Finish, just like OMEN Revolution Edition. Also, a special pirate's coin made of zinc alloy is available as an add-on. The unique and antique gold finish makes it feel real and its size is like a half-dollar coin.

Pledge starts at $14 on Kickstarter.
