Echoes in the Palace (Standard Edition) Playing Cards

Stockholm17's latest release, Echoes in the Palace (Standard Edition) playing cards is a narrative-driven poker deck where each suit unfolds a dramatic story of power, intrigue, and consequence. 

Inspired by Renaissance triptychs, the Jack, Queen, and King of every suit form a connected tableau, presenting scenes that feel like fragments of a silent courtly drama.

Designed for both gameplay and divination, the deck explores themes of deception, ambition, desire, and judgment. The custom courts adopt a tarot-like layout, giving each card added symbolic weight and encouraging deeper interpretation beyond traditional play.

Four distinct Jokers embody the forces of fate: Madness, Fortune, Misfortune, and Disguise... further enriching the narrative and offering an additional layer of meaning within the deck’s unfolding story.

A shared palace backdrop runs throughout the entire deck, unifying each card within the same world of shifting power and hidden secrets. Finished with gold foil on the back design. 

Printed by WJPC and available from Stockholm17 for $15.

Night at Circus Playing Cards, Final Week on Kickstarter

Night at Circus Playing Cards by Anti-Faro is a dark, story-driven deck that blends vintage carnival aesthetics with psychological horror. Set in a surreal, eternal circus trapped in night, the deck explores the unsettling idea of joy twisted into something uncanny... where painted smiles hide something far more sinister.

Each card is part of a larger narrative. This truly unique deck isn’t just for play, it’s an interactive experience, featuring hidden riddles and a puzzle that players must solve to uncover the truth behind the circus and “escape” its world. 

The number cards act as fragments of a coded message, while the court cards represent the trapped performers, each holding pieces of the mystery.

The release includes four editions, each themed around a different “show” within the circus:

• Clown Show (Special)
• Puppet Show (Special)
• Animal Show (Standard)
• Freak Show (Standard)

The Special Editions feature cold-foil crackle finishes and holographic gilded edges, creating a striking, otherworldly shimmer. They also come housed in a Light-up Big Top tuck box, designed like a circus tent that illuminates when opened- making the deck feel as though the carnival has suddenly come to life.

The Standard Editions offer more subtle finishes with bold, contrasting color schemes for gameplay, and are packaged in die-cut tent-style tuck boxes that invite players into the eerie spectacle.

Each edition has its own unique back design, styled as the entrance to its respective tent, with ornate carnival arches and unsettling visual motifs. Together, they form a cohesive yet fragmented world.

Designed as both a collectible and an immersive puzzle experience! Printed by Room One Cards and pledge starts at $17 on Kickstarter.

Deck View: Bicycle Feudal Ninja Playing Cards

Stealthy. Fierce. Shadowed.

The Bicycle Feudal Ninja Playing Cards focus on the shadowy side of ancient Japan, presenting a deck built around stealth, precision, and striking visual contrast. The deck was designed by Scott King and successfully crowdfunded on 2015.

The back design is dominated by a bold, black-on-black illustration of a ninja’s masked face, subtly integrated with hidden weapons like twin sais and throwing stars. Gold accents, especially a central ninja star and surrounding dragons.

The card faces retain a traditional structure for playability but introduce custom geometric pips and stylized borders inspired by flowing dragon tails. Court cards depict a range of ninja figures: assassins, leaders, and warriors... each armed and poised in dynamic stances. 

Printed by the United States Playing Card Company.

Fulton's Irish Wonders Playing Cards

Fulton's Irish Wonders Playing Cards are a tribute to Ireland, blending cultural symbolism with refined design. Inspired by the spirit of the Emerald Isle... and a personal connection to Brad Fulton's grandmother from Aughnacloy, this fully custom deck captures both heritage and nostalgia through every detail.

The tuck box is richly wrapped in vintage-style gold foil, designed to feel like a treasured artifact. Its surface features iconic Celtic elements, including the powerful Celtic Dragon and intricate knotwork patterns that symbolize eternity and interconnectedness.

Over time, the foil is intended to develop a natural patina, giving the box the appearance of aged “old gold” and enhancing its antique character.

Inside, the deck continues the Irish theme with a carefully Pantone-matched color palette reflecting the Irish flag. The faces maintain a clean, playable layout while incorporating subtle custom touches that tie the design together.

Printed on premium thin stock for smooth handling and flexibility, the cards are built for both performance and longevity. Available NOW from Fulton's Playing Cards for $21.
