Good Pals Unveils Logo V2 Playing Cards

The Card Inn's Good Pals returns to Kickstarter with Logo V2, introducing two new decks: the Purple Logo and Gold King Logo Playing Cards... alongside their limited gilded collector's editions.

The latest releases celebrate the brand's 10th Kickstarter campaign with premium foiling, custom artwork, and collectible finishes.

The Gold King edition showcases radiant gold foil throughout the card backs and face cards, highlighted by the most intricate Ace of Spades design Good Pals has created to date. Meanwhile, the Purple Logo edition pairs a purple matte tuck with gold foil detailing and striking purple foil card backs, complemented by custom purple-accented courts and pips.

Both decks feature fully custom artwork while maintaining a classic layout suitable for card games, magic, and cardistry. 

The gilded editions elevate the presentation further with unique patterned edges, including a wave-effect gilding for the Gold King deck and a crystallised purple gilding for the Purple Logo edition.

The Gold King Logo deck is limited to 375 copies, with a gilded edition restricted to just 125 decks. The Purple Logo deck is accompanied by a gilded variant limited to 150 copies. Every limited edition deck features an individually numbered seal for collectors.

TCI Clubhouse Playing Cards

TCI Clubhouse Playing Cards are a new luxury series from The Card Inn, a UK-based playing cards retailer. Designed as a prestigious “clubhouse” for card players, magicians, and collectors, the series combines traditional playing card usability with high-end production details such as cold foil card backs, embossed tuck cases, gilded edges, and strictly limited print runs.

Designed by Alex Haines of A. Haines Playing Cards, the decks blend classic card design with modern elegance. The faces retain a familiar layout suited for card games and magic, but with refined details that elevate the aesthetic. 

Court cards feature a distinctive gold border that highlights the suit in all four corners, while the traditional color palette has been reimagined using black, red, white, and gold tones that reflect The Card Inn’s visual identity.

The Ace of Spades serves as a centerpiece, featuring an ornate design that pays tribute to The Card Inn’s origins since its founding in 2019. The remaining aces include decorative typography above and below the central symbols, adding further sophistication to the deck. 

Number cards continue the refined theme with elegant frames surrounding the pips, giving the cards a regal and cohesive appearance while maintaining the familiar sizing and layout players expect.

The card backs feature an intricate pattern available in either black or white, both enhanced with cold foil detailing. On the White & Gold edition, the foil appears brighter and more reflective due to the light background, creating a bold and radiant look. The Black & Gold version offers a subtler metallic effect that many magicians may prefer for performance settings where less visual distraction is desired.

The tuck cases are designed to match the luxurious tone of the deck, drawing inspiration from premium playing card brands while establishing their own distinctive identity. Gold foil accents and detailed embossing give the boxes a rich tactile feel and visual depth, turning them into display-worthy pieces even before the cards are opened.

Printed by Kingstar and pledge starts at $21 on Kickstarter.
