The team at Meadowlark Cards offered a unique theme on every deck they have released so far. For their latest release, Meadowlark takes you on a journey trip to the retro era, to the age when children idolize space heroes of a galactic adventure. Introducing Space Suits Playing Cards, a deck inspired by 1950’s space adventure.
Illustrated by designer Russ Gray, the deck features vintage-style artwork with a space theme, giving the vintage comic book vibes. The tuck box is designed to imitate the look of a vintage comic back in those days.
The tuck features artwork embossing on some parts of the artwork, complete with spot UV finish to make it shiny. The box is completed with a custom seal. There are two main editions: Series 1, called Astro Deck and Series 2, called Interstellar Deck. Both decks featured completely different two-way artworks.
The court cards feature one-way full-length illustrations of posters featuring spacecraft, robots, and space heroes. Each has a unique style, matching the vintage theme of the deck. The Aces feature customized enlarged pips, while the Ace of Spades, remains to feature the titular meadowlark bird in a spacesuit. The pips for the Number Cards are also customized. The Jokers feature a profile picture of an alien and a black cat.
Also, the decks come with an option of a custom tin lunch box, created with the theme about children idolizing their heroes in mind and they used to bring lunch boxes with pictures on them as part of their love for the story.
This custom tin box is designed to hold two of the decks inside. The tin box comes in two colorways, with the alternate colorway being for the Limited Edition set, featuring special holographic numbered seal on the box, and contains Standard and Special Editions of the decks. The Special Edition decks feature holographic foiled tuck boxes with cards in holographic gilding.
The decks will be printed by Legends Playing Cards on Viper finish and pledge starts from $30 for a set of Standard decks on Kickstarter.
