First Look: Renaissance Playing Cards by Elephant Playing Cards

A collaboration between Anomaly World Studio and Elephant Playing Cards (EPC), the Renaissance Playing Card deck is meticulously designed by Egor Klyuchnyk. This custom deck is inspired by medieval fearless knights, severe lords, and gorgeous queens.

According to Ben Jones of EPC,

Renaissance is a fully custom hand-drawn deck with one way courts in the original old style of playing card decks. From the card stock to the construction of the tuckbox, Renaissance is designed to transport you back in time with a contemporary twist! Through this deck we want you to feel this epoch, and experience its elegance and grandeur.

Two editions will be offered in the upcoming campaign, the Silver (unlimited) Edition and the Gold (Limited) Edition, unlocked at AUD$20k stretched goal. The limited edition deck is a full-color version of the unlimited edition deck.

The decks are fully custom and hand-illustrated with great attention to detail. The cards have a vintage look and feel to them, from the one-way courts, gorgeous aces to the striking indices and unique subtle coat of arms background for each suit. These new decks have been created to show all beauty of the Renaissance Age and inspired by the great artist - Diego Velásquez.

Both editions will be printed by Legends Playing Card Co on Robusto card stock. The Renaissance Playing Cards will launch on Kickstarter on 26th July 2016 and pledge starts from AUD$17 (~USD$15). There will be Early Bird reward tiers available.
