Seafarers Commodore and Admiral Editions playing cards are Joker and the Thief‘s (J&T) FINAL nautical expedition. Designed by Gustavo Magalhães, Seafarers is J&T’s most popular deck ever! Part of the winning appeal of Seafarers is its classic design language. According to the Kickstarter campaign page,
The original goal behind this deck was to create a classic deck of cards reminiscent of vintage American deck designs. It is clear to us that classic designs survive the test of time. That is in any industry whether it be a classic vehicle or a deck of cards! Timelessness is key! 🔑 The Admiral and Commodore Editions clearly belong in the Captain’s Quarters of any vessel, and elevate the original deck into something truly luxurious!
The luxurious Commodore Edition adopts a gorgeous royal navy blue as its primary colorway. This rich Pantone ink is complimented by a copper metallic ink that shimmers elegantly.
Meanwhile, the Admiral Edition takes heavy inspiration from the J&T White Gold deck featuring an incredible gold metallic ink.
Inside, the card backs not only incorporate symbolically and thought-provoking imagery, but they also maintain a timeless air. The Ace of Spades gives the Seafarers its identity – striking a balance between the classic aesthetic and brand’s identity.
The borderless custom court cards are meticulously illustrated from scratch by hand. Themes from the back design carry across, giving life to these majestic oceanic royals. These courts develop their own distinct identities and every suit tells its own story. Each Jack, King, and Queen are thematically and symbolically linked.
The decks are kept secured in fully custom tuck box featuring foil on the exterior and interior of the boxes, special dyed paper, and embossed all over.
Printed by the USPCC with crushed stock and finish. Pledge starts at $37 for a set of 2 decks on Kickstarter.
