In 2021, Riffle Shuffle successfully funded Atlantis Playing Cards with 987% funding level. Now, they are back on Kickstarter with Atlantis Playing Cards V2 in two mesmerizing editions: Rise and Sunken. These decks take players on a visual journey through the rise and fall of Atlantis, a city once unrivaled in knowledge and technological prowess, now shrouded in myth and mystery.
The Rise Edition, clad in a vibrant red, unfolds Atlantis at the peak of its glory. The die-cut box offers a glimpse of the grandeur within—a city of architectural marvels and natural beauty. From intricate designs to heavenly clouds in red foil, every detail is a testament to Atlantis’s prosperity and the gods’ blessings.
Contrasting with the Rise, the Sunken Edition’s purple and silver palette depicts Atlantis’s fall, engulfed in flames and submerged beneath the sea. The die-cut feature symbolizes peering into the submerged city, revealing a narrative of arrogance, divine punishment, and a city’s descent into the abyss.
Inside, the card designs weave a captivating tale. The crystal ball at the back design unravels the legendary story of Atlantis—a thriving civilization, with majestic architecture, and mystic forces that governed its existence. The composition is a balance of symmetry, showcasing Atlantis above and below the sea, with Zeus, the god of thunder, casting divine judgment.
The court cards provide a unique glimpse into the imagined appearance of the people of Atlantis. Adorned in elegant attire, they are outfitted with opulent red and gold for the Rise Edition and regal purple and silver for the Sink Edition.
The Ace of Spades shares nearly identical designs but are distinguished by their contrasting colors. The Rise Edition boasts vibrant red and gold hues, while the Sink Edition captivates with cool tones of purple and silver.
Printed by RSPCC, each edition is limited to 1350 decks and comes with foiled number seals. Available NOW on Kickstarter from $22.
