This year, we won’t be presenting our usual annual Top 12 list. However, we’ve just concluded our annual review, reflecting on the playing card industry’s events of the past year and anticipating what lies ahead. Throughout 2023, there were remarkable collaborations, licensed releases, and innovative decks that kept the community enthusiastic and involved.
Our biggest recognition this year, ‘Deck of the Year’ goes to the 17th Kingdom Avant Garde playing cards by Stockholm17.
The 17th Kingdom decks are far from ordinary, offering an experience that’s both visually stunning and tactilely exceptional. The deck boast a unique hourglass silhouette with custom-designed card backs, courts and jokers, and a distinctive Ace of Spades- a testament to meticulous craftsmanship.
The unique “17th Kingdom Avant Garde” isn’t just a deck of playing cards; it’s a masterpiece that reimagines the possibilities of card design, making it a must-have for collectors.
Congratulations to Lorenzo Gaggiotti for a truly unique deck!
