Now on Kickstarter, Ankh Playing Cards by ARK takes you on an immersive exploration of pyramids, Neters, and Egyptian art, combining historical reverence with modern craftsmanship.
The Ankh Playing Cards are a tribute to the rich heritage and mythology of Ancient Egypt. At the heart of this collection is the ARK Case, designed with a pyramid-inspired triangular structure. This innovative case opens horizontally, revealing a large triangle formed by the sides and top.
Inside, the illustrations in the Ankh Playing Cards blend hand-drawn and digital art techniques, vividly bringing to life the stories of Egyptian mythology. Each card showcases intricate details, from the weathered cracks on stone walls to the majestic portrayal of Egyptian gods. The Court cards particularly stand out, depicting the deities with a level of detail that captures the grandeur of the ancient civilization.
One of the standout features of the Ankh Playing Cards is the Mystery Finish and Ring HOLO technique. This groundbreaking method integrates a ring-shaped foil layer with card illustrations, creating a mesmerizing holographic effect.
