Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland Playing Cards

Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland Playing Cards by Bloom Playing Cards is a visually rich, art-driven deck that reimagines the classic tale Alice's Adventures in Wonderland through the lens of Japanese Ukiyo-e and surrealist influence.

The deck blends the structured elegance of traditional woodblock prints with dreamlike distortions inspired by Salvador Dalí, resulting in a soft, painterly world where pastel tones and fluid lines capture Wonderland’s sense of playful chaos. Colours like sakura pink, hydrangea blue, and pale greens create a gentle, drifting atmosphere, while touches of black ink ground the design.

Released in four editions: Joukan and Gekan in both Standard and Special versions... the deck offers distinct visual experiences. The Special Editions feature metallic cold-foil accents, while the Standard Editions lean into softer pastel palettes. 

The tuck boxes themselves are highly imaginative, including interactive designs like the “Tickky Tockky” box with moving clock hands, and the “Moon-in-a-Box,” which plays with light and illusion.

The cards are designed as a continuous visual journey. Number cards form panoramic scenes when laid out in sequence, guiding you through Alice’s adventure from the rabbit hole onward. 

Custom pips evolve into thematic elements like mushrooms, pocket watches, and teapots, while the court cards portray iconic characters—from the White Rabbit to the Queen of Hearts—in flowing, Ukiyo-e-inspired attire.

The borderless card backs combine harlequin patterns, floral motifs, and melting clock imagery into a seamless, surreal composition. When fanned, the designs flow together into a continuous tapestry, enhancing the deck’s visual impact. Special Editions also feature printed edge designs that add another layer of detail.

Blending fine art, storytelling, and innovative design, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland Playing Cards is a collector-focused deck that transforms a familiar story into a dreamlike, immersive visual experience. Printed by Room One Cards and pledge starts at $16.50 on Kickstarter.
