Big Brother 2024 Is Watching You Playing Cards

The “Big Brother 2024 Is Watching You” project by 3rd Dominion is an intriguing and innovative deck inspired by George Orwell’s iconic novel, 1984. Conceptualized and designed by the creative minds at 3rd Dominion, this deck is currently seeking funds on Kickstarter with less than a week to go. Remarkably, the project is already more than 200% funded!

The phrase “Big Brother Is Watching You” was coined by Orwell in the third paragraph of the first chapter of 1984, where he described an omnipresent government surveillance system. This theme of pervasive observation is central to the design of our playing cards, capturing the essence of Orwell’s prophetic vision which remains highly relevant today.

The “Big Brother 2024 Is Watching You” deck features three editions: Silver, Gold, and Cobalt Blue. Each deck is poker-sized, functional, and aesthetically pleasing. The design is cohesive, maintaining a darker tone that is both visually appealing and suitably unsettling.

From the court cards to the Ace of Spades and the mirrored card backs, the design integrates the Big Eye motif seamlessly. Each deck comes with a numbered seal, signed by the designer, making it exclusive to Kickstarter backers. Additionally, the decks are shipped in protective boxes made from recycled materials, emphasizing our commitment to the environment.

The 1994 and 2004 decks feature unique tuck box design and construction, deluxe foil and embossing, silver (metallic) ink for card backs, numbered seals signed by the designer. Each edition boasts a meticulously crafted tuck box with the iconic Big Eye design, symbolizing constant surveillance. Both the outer and inner prints are of high quality, ensuring a luxurious feel.

Printed by NPCC and pledge starts at $16 on Kickstarter.
