One of the most prominent playing card designers in the community, Nicolai Aaroe has designed countless great thematic playing cards. Now with another cool project on Kickstarter, Legends of Elven Resistance Playing Cards, a deck series based on the mythical race of elves.
The Legends of Elven Resistance has two different editions: Hiroyini and Glamhoth. Hiroyini will have a darker color palette, while Glamhoth will have a bright green colorway.
The tuck box for both editions will be done with premium matte special paper stock adorned with embossed filigree of gold foiling and interior artwork done in copper foiling. The limited decks will be numbered and its seal is placed on the bottom of the tuck box.
Inside, the Number cards featured customized pips in a standard layout. The Aces and the Courts are the main thing of the decks, featuring different sets of characters of elves and orcs.
Both Hiroyini and Glamhoth feature two different sets of artworks, as well as different color palettes – Hiroyini edition, will have muted monotone colors, while the Glamhoth edition will have full bright colors.
The card back design for both editions features a two-way design of elvish ornamentation in an eye-catching gold tone. While the Hiroyini edition has fancy filigree within a white border, the Glamhoth edition has a beautifully natural pattern on a full-bleed colored background – a tribute to the woodland of the kingdom of elves.
Both decks will be printed by Noir Arts Playing Cards with premium linen finish. Pledge starts at $12 on Kickstarter.
