After the success of their first deck, Akita Playing Cards, Blue Moon Co. is back with another interesting Kickstarter campaign- Warrior of the Stars Playing Cards, a deck inspired by the 12 Zodiacs.
The back design features a bordered design with four circular broken border corners. The corners show the four main elements of the world: Fire, Earth, Water, and Wind. The centre of the card is a sun cupped by two crescent moons surrounded by stars.
The pips are customized to look like small forms of constellations surrounded by stars. The Aces showcase the power pips showcase the elements with which it is associated.
The courts feature all of the 12 Zodiacs. They are illustrated as warriors that protect the sky from any lurking evil forces. You can see their respective stars’ constellations that are assigned to them. The Jokers feature an identical illustration of Galileo Galilei, the father of modern astronomy – he is illustrated as a man who observes the skies with his telescope.
There are three main editions for the deck. The Standard Edition has two variants: Night Blue and Morning Star. The illustrations of the cards are full of colors with a slight application of foiling on some of the details. The slight difference is within the colors of the frame borders: blue tint for Night Blue – yellow tint for Morning Star.
The Signature Edition is a collector’s edition in which the cards are tucked inside a book-box design tuck box, which will also include a custom engraved coin featuring the Zodiac warriors. Also, the cards for Signature Edition will be in black and white, BUT they will be holographic foil and holographic gilded.
All of the decks will be produced by RoomOne Playing Cards Co. Pledge starts from $19 on Kickstarter.
