Final Hours on Kickstarter, MPC';s Gods Playing Cards

Currently seeking funds on Kickstarter, MPC’s Gods Playing Cards are based on a Greek mythological heroes theme where 12 renowned Greek heroes are used to represent all 12 characters in the court cards. 

Generally, the king cards are gods, the queens are goddesses and the jacks are young gods. According to the campaign page,

Each character was studied to ensure we had a good understanding of the character before we went into the sketching stage. And as on standard playing cards, we wanted the characters to be holding an artifact which is related to themselves such as the king of diamonds holding a cornucopia which symbolizes abundance and wealth and on the jack on clubs is Dionysus who is the god of wine so he is holding some grapes and a cup of wine. 

The card back comes in a mirrored design of Zeus, the father of all gods and ruler of Mount Olympus.

The aces took a bit of design time and they feature mythological children outlining the shapes of the 4 pips. Zeus and Hades are featured on the jokers.

The deck is kept secure on a special tuck box to compliment the Gods deck where there is an extended tongue on the back side of the box as opposed to the standard tuck-in box found standard on playing cards. 

Also, this will be the first deck of cards under the MPC brand which uses double foiling on a color carded box where gold and silver are foiled onto the artwork areas.

The deck will be printed on MPC‘s M30 linen light card stock coupled with the super smooth BETA finish. Pledge starts at $13 on Kickstarter.
