ACC 2026 Playing Cards by Room One Cards

Room One x Asia Card Convention 2026. Created as the official companion to the second Asia Card Convention (ACC 2026) in Guangzhou, this limited-edition deck celebrates the growing playing card collecting community across Asia.

The deck features custom mirrored back, custom Ace of Spades and traditional court cards. Also, an exclusive Gilded Edition, featuring a special deck seal, was also produced in limited numbers for convention attendees with special-tier tickets.

A fitting keepsake from ACC 2026 and a collectible marking the second chapter of one of Asia's key playing card events.

The deck features a clean presentation with an embossed tuck box and is printed by ROom One Cards on 270g premium Sleight Stock. Available for $16 on Room One Cards.

The Crowns (Standard Edition) Playing Cards

Room One Cards and CKB Studios have teamed up for The Crowns, a playing card deck inspired by the enduring symbols of royalty, power, and legacy. The deck debuted at the 2026 Asia Card Convention (ACC) in Guangzhou, alongside an exclusive Gilded Edition available only to select convention attendees. 

Each court card portrays a monarch or ruler from history, with their distinctive crowns drawing from the visual traditions of different cultures and empires.

Rather than focusing on royalty as an abstract concept, the deck explores the diverse traditions and iconography that have shaped civilizations throughout history.

The design uses a restrained palette of beige, rustic bronze, and muted traditional playing-card colours, giving the deck an aged, archival character reminiscent of historical artefacts and forgotten manuscripts. The tuck box features hot foil and embossing for an elevated finish.

The deck was printed by Room One on 270g Sleight Stock. Available on Room One Store for $16.

Smoke and Mirrors (Mirror Flower and Water Moon) Playing Cards

Room One and Dan & Dave have teamed up for Smoke and Mirrors, a two-deck set inspired by the intriguing connection between illusion and the Chinese phrase 鏡花水月 (Mirror Flower Water Moon).

“Smoke and mirrors” describes the obscuring or embellishment of truth, while Mirror Flower Water Moon refers to something beautiful yet intangible and impossible to grasp. The two ideas come together in a collection that explores illusion, reflection, and beauty across cultures.

First released at the Asia Card Convention (ACC) 2026 in Guangzhou, the decks combine Room One's contemporary aesthetic with Dan & Dave's signature playing card design.

The set features Mirror Flower and Water Moon, each with shimmering cold-foil card backs, semi-custom courts, custom Ace of Spades and Jokers. The decks are housed in a distinctive light-up Infinity Mirror tuck box, adding another layer of illusion to the presentation.

Printed on Room One's premium 270g Sleight Stock. Available for $30 on Room One Cards.

What is the Butterfly Playing Cards Launch Try-All Set?

Butterfly Playing Cards is inviting the community to do more than just collect. The brand is asking fans and collectors to help decide the future of the next Butterfly deck. The Butterfly Try-All Set allows you to have the rare chance to test and compare three unique card stocks, all while influencing the deck’s second edition.

Created in collaboration with Room One for the Asia Card Convention 2025, the Try-All Set includes three decks of Butterfly Playing Cards, each printed with the same design but on different stock. One uses the 270gsm Sleight stock, another the 290gsm Afflux stock, and the third the 300gsm Elite stock. 

By keeping the artwork identical across the decks, Butterfly ensures that the only factor up for judgment is how the cards feel and handle in performance. Each tuck box carries a subtle mark indicating its stock type and thickness, so collectors and performers can easily track their comparisons.

To gather opinions, each deck contains a card with a QR code that leads to a short feedback form. Once completed, responses will determine the “People’s Champ,” the most popular stock among backers. That choice will then guide the second edition of Butterfly Playing Cards, which will feature a new colorway and a redesigned tuck case to set it apart from the Try-All Set.

This release is strictly limited to 500 sets, adding an extra layer of exclusivity for collectors. An additional incentive awaits those who participate in the survey before October 31, 2025: one person will be randomly selected to receive a prototype Butterfly Try-All Set, of which only five exist worldwide.

The Set is available now from Butterfly Magic Store for $38.
