Monster Hunter Playing Cards

Monster Hunter Playing Cards bring over two decades of iconic creatures from the Monster Hunter series into a single, hand-illustrated deck that feels like it was lifted straight from the Hunter’s Guild archives. 

Each card is rendered in rich, detailed artwork that blends traditional playing card design with the look of an in-world bestiary, giving the deck a sense of authenticity fans will instantly recognise.

The courts and aces showcase 16 monsters from across the franchise, with legendary names like Rathalos, Tigrex, Nergigante, and Zinogre taking their place across the suits. Each creature is carefully illustrated to reflect its personality and presence, transforming the deck into both a functional set of cards and a collectible tribute to the series’ most memorable hunts. Even the jokers stay true to the world, featuring fan-favourite companions Poogie and Palico.

Available in multiple colourways, including blue, red, and green editions, each version offers its own visual identity, with the blue edition highlighted by shimmering foil accents that catch the light with every shuffle. The luxury tuck box completes the presentation, featuring the Hunter’s Guild crest in metallic foil, surrounded by embossed monster silhouettes on a deep navy background.

Designed for collectors, players, and longtime fans alike, Monster Hunter Playing Cards balance usability with fandom, offering a deck that feels just as at home on the table as it does displayed alongside other treasured pieces from the series. Available in Red, Blue and Green colorway.

The Rush Playing Cards by Squiddle Ink

The Rush Playing Cards by Squiddle Ink is a fully illustrated deck inspired by the drama, ambition, and chaos of the California Gold Rush, bringing the frontier era to life through detailed artwork and historical storytelling. 

Set against the rugged landscapes of the Sierra Nevada and the boomtowns stretching toward San Francisco, the deck captures the spirit of a time when fortunes were chased... and often lost in the pursuit of gold.

At the center of the narrative is James W. Marshall, whose 1848 discovery at Sutter’s Sawmill ignited the mass migration of prospectors known as the 49ers. The court cards expand on this history by portraying real figures from the era, from industrialists like Levi Strauss and Leland Stanford, to frontier personalities such as gambler Eleanor Dumont and entertainer Lotta Crabtree. 

Each suit reflects a different facet of Gold Rush life, from enterprise and infrastructure to saloon culture and survival. Visually, the deck leans into a rustic, frontier aesthetic. The card backs depict a skeletal prospector riding through a ghost town, reinforcing the theme of fleeting fortune and abandoned dreams. 

The deck’s design is steeped in symbolism, incorporating imagery like pickaxes, wagon wheels, train tracks, and wheat, subtle reminders of the industries and livelihoods overshadowed by the lure of gold. Even the aces and number cards carry narrative weight, referencing mining culture, profiteering, and the transformation of California’s economy during the rush.

The tuck box features a soft-touch matte finish with a sepia-toned interior pattern inspired by steam train wheels, while gold gilded edges give the cards a warm shimmer... echoing the moment a prospector glimpses gold in a pan.

Printed by Legends Playing Card Co with a classic finish. Pledge starts at $16 on Kickstarter.

Deck View: ARW V3 (Standard Edition) Playing Cards

Neon. Dynamic. Striking.

ARW V3 (Standard Edition) Playing Cards is the evolution of Luke Wadey’s arrow-based series with a more expressive, hand-drawn aesthetic. The back design centers on the now-signature twin arrows, sketched into a layered composition that forms a bold, recognizable pattern—especially effective in fans and flourishes. Neon ink plays a key role, reacting vividly under UV light and bringing the design to life with a glowing intensity.

Faces feature custom pips with subtle arrow integrations, while the courts and Ace of Spades expand on the theme with hand-drawn arrows and typography woven into the artwork. The contrast between clean structure and freehand styling gives the deck a distinct street-art influence. The tuck box follows the established ARW design language with bold graphics and typography, enhanced with neon accents. 

Printed by the United States Playing Card Company, Available for $20 on Luke Wadey's online store.
