News: AURELIAN Playing Cards. The most detailed deck Ellusionist ever made!

Ellusionist has just released what seems to be the company's most detailed deck they've ever made. Based on the leader of the Roman Empire, the Aurelian Playing Cards was conceived by Geraint Clarke and designed by Oban Jones.

This exquisite deck features hypnotic card backs, re-worked courts draped in gold, a bold Ace of Space with gold-ink swords, whips and spears, and the jokers are an homage to the Tally-Ho Cowboys.

The eye-catching tuck is coated in gold foil, leaking into layers of embossing. An oak leaf detailing that resembles the Emperor's Civic Crown can be found inside the tuck box.

Currently available from Ellusionist for $10.
