Spain-based playing cards brand, FC Designs, had made a few custom design playing cards. For their latest project, they take you on a discovery of the most celebrated ancient civilization of all time- Egypt Mythology Playing Cards.
There are two main editions available during the Kickstarter campaign: Standard and Black. The Standard Edition features two-way illustrations, designed to be as close towards the standard deck, but with custom artworks. The Black Edition features one-way courts with a darker color scheme. Both cards feature a stunning hot foil gold color.
The tuck box features premium matte stock with gold foil and embossing. The front side features a magnificent grand view of the Egyptian temple for the Standard Edition, while the Black Edition features the goddess Maat spreading her wings. The back side features the mirror of the card’s back design. There are various color options that you can choose: Red, Blue, Black or White for the Standard Edition; Green or Black for the Black Edition.
The back design is a two-way illustration of a grand Egyptian mural within their temple, with the central element showing the bust of Nefertiti. There are arrays of Egyptian symbols, textures, and carvings: presenting the rich culture of Ancient Egypt as its finest.
The pips are customized for this deck: the center of each pip is equipped with an important Egyptian symbol. The Ace of Spades features the power pip designed as the goddess Maat forming her wings in the shape of the pip, showing the pharaoh inside.
The courts feature a selection of very important deities in Ancient Egypt, and they are grouped according to their personalities and characteristics. In Standard Edition, the courts are drawn in two ways, showcasing rich colors along with their names. In Black Edition, the courts are drawn one way and within a frame on the background, shown as stone reliefs’ lookalike.
The decks are printed by the Expert Playing Card Co. and pledge starts from $18 on Kickstarter.
