Team Pinto Playing Cards, a Real Estate Themed Deck on Kickstarter

Only 3 more days on Kickstarter, Team Pinto Playing Cards is a real estate themed deck, designed with for cardists, magicians, collectors in mind. Having a fond appreciation for cardistry, magic, sleight of hand magic, and of playing cards as an incredible form of art, Aron Pinto wanted to introduce to the world what he believes to be the first fully custom real estate themed deck!

One of his priorities when designing it was to create a deck that while conserving the beautiful style and tradition of the classic deck and court cards, would also introduce something new, exciting, and different for people to enjoy! Fully custom, each card in the deck has been carefully designed and drawn by Aron together with the talented artist Viktor Zybin from Tagnarog in South Western Russia!

If you look at the deck carefully, you will spot a few subtle real estate related symbolism such as houses and keys throughout the artwork. All of the court cards are formally dressed in a suit, tie, and business formal attire, ready for the most complex of real estate transactions!

One incredible aspect of the artwork is that they were drawn so much in the traditional style that you almost forget that the courts are not dressed in this type of formal clothing in the traditional court cards.

The card backs were crafted with the art of card flourishing in mind. Although simplistic, the design is bold yet striking! The house icons are symmetric and give an arrow type of effect for displays and motion. It also includes a small red dot as the doorknob in order to add a subtle yet powerful element to the visual effect.

Team Pinto Playing Cards will be produced with Art of Play and the USPCC. Pledge starts at $12 on Kickstarter.

Kickstarter: The Keys Playing Cards by Paper Poetry

Now on Kickstarter, Keys Playing Cards is a simplistic deck inspired on the common everyday object. On the product page,

Keys are everywhere in our everyday life, both as physical objects and concepts. We give the keys of our heart to our loved one, we close doors with the past and open new ones to get along in life. Keys can have different meanings, they can represent freedom or the loss of it, opening and closure, a new beginning or an end. They symbolize curiosity and the unknown, a purpose or a goal, imprisonment or power.

Designed by the team at Paper Poetry (Instagram: @paperpoetrycards), the team wanted to empower an everyday object by representing it in a very simplistic but yet elegant way. The card back is simplistic, elegant, and recognizable with a crossed keys mirrored designed on a Royal Blue background with a thin white border.

The courts are pretty much standard but personalized with Daniel Schneider Court cards with clean and sharp line work. The Kings now hold keys, new details on the Queen’s dresses, and all swords and hatchets removed.

The custom aces are unique, sophisticated, and yet familiar. Paper Poetry has offered them a "frame" represented as a key chain Hotel vintage-style with an elegant tassel.

The deck is kept in a custom tuck case printed on matte finish stock. Keys with red tassels are prominently featured on the front, consistent with the card backs. Keys will be printed by Cartamundi.

Pledge starts from $14 on Kickstarter.

The Sandwich Series Playing Cards- Only 1 More Week!

Check out this new deck series from Deckidea. The Sandwich Series is a collection of decks with tuck boxes made to look like photo-realistic food ingredients to make your own sandwich.

On the inspiration behind the deck, Jason Cheng, founder of Deckidea said,

Being a foodie, I wanted to combine my love of Sandwiches and playing cards. I used that as a concept, and 100+ hours of work later, “the Sandwich Series” was born.🍞

There are three versions are available to make your own deck sandwich- bread, egg, and luncheon meat. Fully custom, the deck features a stylish illustration that will surely appeal to both sandwich lovers & card collectors alike.

The card back of each version is the ingredients of a good breakfast sandwich- bread, egg, and luncheon meat. The Aces are dishes made from the ingredients and the court cards depict a chef cooking.

Also, the jokers are also designed to be at different cooking stages of an ingredient, (i.e. from Egg Shell to Scramble Egg), perfect for a quick fun sleight of hand magic trick.

The decks will be printed by Cartamundi on True Linen B9 Finish with SlimLine paper stock. Pledge starts at $11 on Kickstarter. Add-ons such as half-brick boxes and tote back are also available to keep your sandwich secure.

Kickstarter: Blueprint Playing Cards

Now on Kickstarter, Blueprint Playing Cards is a technical themed deck designed by Enrica Martiné. The fully custom deck sports a blue colorway and features design elements used in blueprints. On the design, Enrica told Kardify,

I love the plan. Architectural ones are my favorite, especially when laid out in a blueprint. I love visualizing the dissection of a building or an object, and I love playing cards.

Combining both interests, 'The Blueprint' playing card deck was born. Inside, the artwork on each card is unique, with varying textures and quirks. Enrica continued,

I wanted to bring authenticity to each card, so I spent a lot of time coming up with ways to represent the suits and individual cards in a unique and stylish way.

The traditional elements are tightly intertwined with many innovative details, creating an aesthetically pleasing deck. The blue-toned squared paper on the face and card backs gives the blueprint theme a touch of class. The Ace cards of each suit are really special. Enrica explained,

I have taken extra care and time to showcase the relevant suit, by breaking down the component element in great detail - all within the blueprint theme.

The deck is packaged in a matching bespoke, luxury tuck case featuring a wraparound design, edged in crystal white (or metallic if first stretched goal is achieved). Also, when you pledge for two or more decks, you get a special foiled, metallic A5 foil print to frame.

Available now on Kickstarter for $13.
