Fantasma Revenant Playing Cards Final Week on Kickstarter!

Last year, designer Giovanni Meroni designed and produced Fantasma Playing Cards, decks based on ghosts. The decks featured invisible artworks made of UV inks, receiving the “Best Innovation” from UC’s Deck of the Year 2023 awards. Now, Thirdway Industries returns with this series’ sequel, Fantasma Revenant Playing Cards on Kickstarter.

There are a total of three editions for this series: Ectoplasm, Vision, and Extreme. Both Ectoplasm and Vision are available to be obtained separately or as a bundle. Extreme is the most exclusive edition and can only be obtained within a very limited bundle.

The artwork for the cards is the same as its predecessor, but they will be printed with flashy neon inks. The artworks are visible in normal light, although they will shine bright when illuminated with a black light.

The illustrations will use green neon ink for the black suits, while orange neon ink is used for the red suits. The yellow neon ink is used for the small details of the artwork. The tuck box for Ectoplasm features custom neon green paper stock with artwork embossing. The box is printed with yellow neon foil along with holographic black foil.

The tuck box for Vision is two-layered. The outer sleeve is made with white premium stock with neon green and transparent wavy holographic foil. There is a small die-cut window that shows the skull image of the inner box, which features illustrations done in orange and green ink.

Fantasma Extreme is the most experimental deck for this latest sequel. The tuck box is made with pearlescent white metallic stock with holographic gold foil and embossing. The back design is made with hot foil stamping gold holographic foil.

The faces will have completely invisible artworks, which can only be revealed with the blacklight. When illuminated, the artworks will reveal FOUR different shades of invisible UV ink: red, orange, light blue, and blue. It is crazier than Fantasma Duplex from before. This deck would be the first TWI deck printed with Kingstar Playing Cards.

The cards for Ectoplasm and Vision will be printed by USPCC, while the cards for Extreme will be printed by KingStar Playing Cards Co. All of the tuck boxes will be printed by Boschiero & Newton. Pledge starts from €16 for Fantasma Ectoplasm on Kickstarter.
