One of our favorite playing card sets is back on Kickstarter! The team at Design Imperator has launched a REMASTERED edition of Ragnarok Playing Cards. This new edition features a complete overhaul of the artwork, new luxurious tuck boxes, and more gods and giants!
Ragnorak is a fully custom Norse-themed deck designed in Denmark. The Aesir (Dark Grey) and the Jotun (Black) Editions feature fully custom pips, indices, aces, and courts.
Both card backs of feature Norse artwork inspired by original knotwork and wood carving designs, both set in a mirrored composition printed with metallic inks. The designs take inspiration from the oseberg and broa art styles of Scandinavian Viking culture.
The face cards are completely unique in the 2 editions and come with a new cast of valkyries, draugr and giants to the battle. All are hand-illustrated in a washed-out color scheme, inspired by the time periods of old mural history. The darker tone of the deck highlight drama, intensity, and an epic battle.
The design elements, particularly the use of runic inscriptions utilized throughout are truly unique and very well incorporated into the theme of the deck.
The solid tuck boxes of Ragnarok Remastered are manufactured with gold & brass foil and heavily embossed artwork that wraps around the sides. Texts designed in golden futhark runes for authenticity.
Printed by NPCC on linen card stock and pledge starts at $14 on Kickstarter. You don’t want to miss this!
