Cubemic Playing Cards in Kickstarter

Now on Kickstarter, Cubemic Playing Cards by N2G & Hot Cube seamlessly blend the dimensional magic of the Rubik’s Cube with the elegance of playing cards, creating a visually striking and uniquely interactive deck.

Inspired by the iconic Rubik’s Cube, this deck reimagines classic playing card design through geometry, vibrant color, and strategic elements. The name “Cubemic” combines “Cube” and “Cosmic,” symbolizing infinite transformations, where each shuffle mirrors the twists and turns of a cube in motion.

The deck design is a fusion of craftsmanship and creativity. The vibrant red and energetic green editions feature geometric back designs that incorporate speed-solving symbols and cube-inspired patterns, reflecting precision, elegance, and problem-solving mastery.

The Aces stand out with bold, sharp lines that capture the intricate structure of a cube, while the court cards are reimagined using deconstructed geometric elements. Each number card is crafted entirely from squares, offering a fresh interpretation of traditional suits. The Jokers symbolize key milestones in the cubing world, including the legendary Sub5 solve, celebrating both precision and the thrill of speed-solving.

The tuck box, made from dazzling Rainbow Paper, features laser UV embossing, creating an enchanting color shift under light while highlighting intricate Rubik’s Cube motifs.

More than just a deck, Cubemic is a magical tool designed for both card enthusiasts and performers. With its seamless handling and hidden surprises, it enhances classic card tricks while introducing cube-themed effects, making it an exciting addition for magicians, speedcubers, and collectors alike. 

Printed on premium German black-core paper, the deck ensures exceptional elasticity, smoothness, and durability. The cards undergo infrared precision cutting for seamless handling and are printed with eco-friendly, odorless ink infused with a subtle CL refreshing scent. Pledge starts at $15 on Kickstarter.
