Joker and the Thief celebrates 10 years of innovation with No Borders: Series 2, a collection of playing cards inspired by decks from their back catalog. This series showcases fresh designs while honoring the brand's rich history, blending creative artistry with practical functionality.
Each deck draws inspiration from the intricate interior patterns of past releases:
- Joker and the Thief Back: A tribute to the original deck, featuring the interior pattern from its debut tuck box, paired with the elegant colorway of the Edition 5 release.
- Maidens Back: Featuring the floral interior design of the Maidens tuck box, originally illustrated by Kentaro Yoshida, it pays homage to this 2018 cult classic.
- Dystopia Back: Inspired by the gritty post-apocalyptic "Dystopia: Interceptor Edition," it showcases a bold skull-and-bones motif.
- Victory Back: This deck celebrates Joker and the Thief's first borderless design, honoring the limited-edition Victory Playing Cards.
- Crown Back: A tribute to the stoic simplicity of the Crown Playing Cards, featuring the iconic three-headed snake design, available in both red and blue variants.
All six decks shave the same Ace of Spades, and hand-illustrated court cards by Pedro Oyarbide that combine elegance and clarity.
The tuck boxes are crafted from matte black paper stock- feature blind embossing, intricate letterpress detailing, and a unique die-cut window revealing each deck's back design. Gold foil accents and perforated seals add functionality and sophistication, ensuring ease of use without sacrificing elegance.
With its striking designs and luxurious craftsmanship, this collection stands as a testament to Joker and the Thief’s decade-long commitment to artistry and quality. Pledge starts at $15 on Kickstarter.
