Check Out ZHI YUAN (KITE) Playing Cards by ARK

ARK's ZHI YUAN (KITE) Playing Cards blends tradition with modern sophistication, drawing inspiration from the ancient Chinese art of kite making. ARK, known for exploring diverse cultural themes, brings this new creation to life with innovative design and a deep connection to Chinese heritage. 

The deck features a unique, foldable tuck case that mimics the classic silhouette of a swallow kite. Closed, it serves as a standard card box; when opened, it transforms into a beautiful display, complete with a built-in stand.

Inside, the cards are intricately designed, weaving traditional motifs with modern aesthetics. The card backs combines bamboo strips with classic Chinese patterns, featuring symbols of prosperity like koi fish and swallows. 

For the faces cards, each suit is thoughtfully represented: Spades for fortune, Hearts for happiness, Clubs for abundance, and Diamonds for beauty. Court cards depict figures engaged in the art of kite crafting, enhancing the deck’s cultural connection.

Several limited editions are on offer during the Kickstarter campaign: a standard deck with exquisite artwork, an Artist Boxset with HOLO cards and a special art book, a Walnut Boxset with gilded-edge cards and a display frame, and a Black Edge Special Deck exclusive to the ALL-IN tier.
