Mad kings, assassins and a headless dinner guest are all denizens of this dark and droll universe. Bag of Bones playing cards offers an entertaining mix of eccentric characters and macabre humor! Designed and hand-illustrated by John Littleboy, this transformation deck is filled with humor and personality, from the flies in the web, the garden, the rising naga, and blood-splattered stairs!
Currently seeking funds on Kickstarter, the deck promises an alluring experience with its elegant gold-foiled tuck box, inviting you to unlock the secrets it holds. Each suit in the deck comes with its own horrific story, creating a macabre narrative that unfolds card by card. The designs are a fusion of scarlet, vermilion, rose red, and sooty black, creating a Devil’s palette that burns with rich and vibrant contrasts.
The cards feature a trio of elegant parasites, each with its own unique and chilling story. The king, consulting his book of recipes for a cauldron of Being Soup seasoned with the seven deadly spices, adds a supernatural twist to traditional court cards. Every detail is meticulously crafted, from the sinuous demon with flaming hair to the flame-spitting oratorio performed by the Jack.
Two editions are availalbe during the Kickstarter campaign- Classic and Premium. The Bag of Bones Classic Deck provides a hauntingly beautiful experience without the premium touches. The Bag of Bones Premium Deck, embossed with gold or silver foil, takes it a step further, offering variations in the face cards between gold and silver decks.
Printed by WJPC and pledge starts at $20 on Kickstarter. Backers can anticipate a journey into a realm where elegance meets horror, and every card tells a tale of mystery and magic!
