FORMA Playing Cards

Geometric. Dynamic. Expressive.

FORMA Playing Cards are a visually dynamic deck designed specifically for cardistry by Uruguayan designer Ale Urrutia and TCC. The deck takes its name from the Spanish word for “shapes,” reflecting its strong geometric inspiration.

Half a year in development, FORMA is built around basic geometric forms such as circles, triangles, and squares. The artwork was created using real paper-shaped objects, giving the deck a distinctive tactile and dimensional quality while maintaining a clean, contemporary appearance.

The cards comes with a bold blue, red, and white colorway, combining geometric shapes and patterns with a carefully balanced mix of muted and vibrant colors across the faces. The dynamic designs are particularly suited to cardistry, creating striking visual effects during fans, spreads, spins, cascades, and other flourishes.

Final Hours on Kickstarter! Pantheon Playing Cards by TCC

TCC Playing Cards is bringing four ancient mythological traditions together in THE PANTHEON on Kickstarter, an ambitious playing-card series inspired by the gods, symbols and legends of Norse, Celtic, Greek and Egyptian mythology.

The project takes a classical visual approach, drawing on Palace Oil Painting, Neoclassical decoration and symmetrical compositions to give the decks a unified historical aesthetic. Each mythology retains its own colour palette, characters and symbolism while contributing to the larger Pantheon concept.

Inside, the four suits represent Norse, Celtic, Greek and Egyptian mythology, while the court cards feature figures from each tradition. The design is built around a deep crimson and gold palette, with ornate borders and mythological symbols woven throughout.

Also, TCC has also produced four individual editions dedicated to each mythology. The Norse, Celtic, Greek and Egyptian decks feature their own tuck-box artwork, court cards and themed details while sharing a consistent design language across the series.

For collectors, the Black Collection Deck offers a darker interpretation of the Pantheon design, shifting the artwork into a black-and-gold palette. It is available exclusively through the Gilded Collection, which is limited to 500 sets worldwide and includes six decks with gilded edges.

Available NOW on Kickstarter from $12.50.

TCC and Lunzi Present SHOP52 Playing Cards

TCC and artist Lunzi have unveiled SHOP52 Playing Cards, a fully illustrated deck that transforms an everyday shopping street into a miniature world of shops, characters, and stories. Following Lunzi’s signature vintage hand-drawn style, SHOP52 moves away from fantasy settings and instead focuses on the familiar charm of urban life. 

Each card represents a different storefront, capturing scenes from bakeries, cafés, flower shops, bookstores, antique stores, clothing studios, and more. The collection features 54 unique shops, each designed with detailed dip-pen illustrations and its own atmosphere. Together, they form a complete miniature commercial street contained within a single deck.

The tuck box enhances the experience with a unique drawer-style design, allowing collectors to slide open the deck like discovering a small shop hidden inside a shopping bag.

SHOP52 is available in several editions, including a Coming Soon Edition featuring storefronts before opening day, a Mystery Deck series with randomly selected shops, and the Street Collection Deck containing the full illustrated shopping street.

Collectors can also choose from various bundles, including half-brick and all-in sets featuring multiple Mystery Decks, display items, and exclusive artwork.

With its nostalgic illustration style and focus on everyday moments, SHOP52 turns a simple deck of playing cards into a charming paper city waiting to be explored. Pledge starts at $18 on Kickstarter.

Alabaster Playing Cards by TCC Fashion

Alabaster Playing Cards by TCC Fashion reimagines classical sculpture through a luxury playing card collection centred on texture, light, and relief-inspired craftsmanship.

Building on the success of the David and Venus playing cards series, Alabaster transforms iconic figures such as Athena, David, Michelangelo, and Venus into fully custom playing card designs inspired by gypsum sculptures and museum-grade classical art. 

The decks use intricate embossing techniques to recreate the tactile feel of carved alabaster, enhanced by carefully engineered lighting and shadow effects throughout the tuck boxes and card faces.

The White Special Edition focuses on the purity of alabaster aesthetics, featuring deeply embossed relief textures, elegant European-style carvings, and subtle cold foil accents that enhance the sculptural detail without overpowering it. The court cards form a unified “silent portrait” of classical figures, while the Jokers depict ornate Baroque-inspired architectural scenes.

Alongside it, the Holo Edition introduces iridescent holo foil elements that bring a contemporary dimension to the collection. Flowing colour effects interact with the sculptural artwork across the card faces and backs, creating a dynamic contrast between classical form and modern visual treatment.

Both editions feature fully custom artwork, symmetrical sculptural back designs, and optional gilded collector versions. The collector set package the decks in elaborate embossed gift boxes that continue the collection’s focus on texture, craftsmanship, and presentation.

Pledge starts at $20 on Kickstarter.

Morpho V2 Playing Cards by TCC Fashion

Morpho V2 Playing Cards by TCC Fashion build upon the success of the original Morpho V1, refining both the visual structure and the finer design details while expanding the butterfly-inspired concept. The new edition continues to explore the symbolism of butterflies... creatures long associated with transformation, freedom, and rebirth, capturing the fleeting beauty of their flight through intricate artwork and carefully considered materials.

Butterflies serve as the central inspiration for the entire deck. Emerging from their chrysalis, they represent the moment of transformation when something quiet and hidden unfolds into color and motion. Morpho V2 translates this natural journey into playing card form, where each element, from the tuck box to the card backs... echoes the grace and delicate strength of these remarkable insects.

Among the thousands of butterfly species found in nature, four were selected as the core inspiration for the series, each bringing its own color palette and personality to the design.

• The Pearl Deck draws from the Green Commodore, using bright tones and intricate wing patterns as its visual foundation. 
• The Sapphire Deck is inspired by the Blue Pansy, whose translucent blue wings and subtle black and orange markings create a striking contrast. 
• The Carmine Deck reflects the Scarlet Mormon, highlighted by deep red wings punctuated by structured black patterns. 
• A fourth design, the Rose Spectral Deck, is inspired by the Emerald Swallowtail and features a luminous gradient blending teal, violet, and pale blue tones. This edition is exclusive to the collector’s boxset.

The tuck boxes retain the signature die-cut window introduced in Morpho V1, allowing collectors to glimpse the cold foil card backs directly through the packaging. In V2, the linear patterns of the original design have been transformed into elegant shapes formed by wings and flowers, creating a softer, more organic appearance. When the deck is opened, the reveal feels almost like witnessing a butterfly taking flight.

Inside the deck, the card faces maintain a clean and refined layout, emphasizing clarity and balance while allowing the butterfly motif to take center stage. 

The numbered cards incorporate butterfly and floral illustrations, with the number of butterflies corresponding to the card value, reinforcing the theme of nature quietly gathering strength before bursting into motion. The card backs and tuck designs continue the motif, using detailed butterfly patterns enhanced by cold foil to create subtle movement as light shifts across the surface.

Pledge starts at $12 on Kickstarter.

Year of the Horse Playing Cards by TCC Fashion

Year of the Horse Playing Cards by TCC Fashion welcome the 2026 with an elegant blend of symbolism, craftsmanship, and Eastern aesthetics. Designed as a celebration of new beginnings, this limited edition deck channels hope, momentum, and prosperity... values closely tied to both the Lunar New Year and the spirit of the horse.

The core of the design is the calla lily, a flower traditionally associated with swift success, devotion, purity, and eternity. Its meaning of “flowers blooming at once” runs throughout the deck, lending the artwork a sense of calm confidence and forward motion.

Paired with dynamic horse imagery, auspicious clouds, and flowing floral elements, the composition feels both graceful and powerful. The double-sided symmetrical card back maintains visual balance, while the Eastern-inspired Joker reinforces the cultural narrative.

The tuck and cards are finished with hot foil stamping and embossing, layered to catch and shift with the light. This restrained approach to luxury enhances depth without overwhelming the design, allowing details to emerge naturally as the deck is handled. 

Limited to 2,026 decks worldwide, each set is sealed with an exclusive hot-foil serial-numbered seal, making it a refined yet accessible collectible at $11.95. Available now on TCC Playing Card.
