ARK's Atlantis Playing Cards

Funding now on Kickstarter, Explore the legendary underwater world of Atlantis with ARK’s latest masterpiece, Atlantis Playing Cards. ARK's latest deck combines innovative craftsmanship with the mystery and allure of the fabled lost city, immersing collectors and enthusiasts in a realm of creativity and storytelling.

At the heart of this creation lies the groundbreaking accordion creative structure, designed to evoke a powerful sense of depth and three-dimensionality. The eye-catching tuck case, resembling the grand gates of Poseidon’s palace, unfolds to reveal an intricate and immersive scene.

As the case expands, it transforms into a stunning display of Atlantis’ architectural beauty, inspired by the domed structures of ancient Greece and Rome. The symmetrical layout creates a vivid sense of space, allowing the grandeur of the underwater palace to unfold before your eyes.

Within, each illustration is painstakingly hand-drawn with millimeter-level detail, utilizing traditional woodcut techniques to evoke the craftsmanship of Atlantis’ mythical artisans. This blend of ancient aesthetics and modern design gives the cards a distinctive style, rich with texture and history.

The deck incorporates the innovative Wave HOLO foil technology, which brings the designs to life with shimmering, holographic elements. The delicate textures of water ripple across the cards, mimicking the dynamic beauty of the ocean. This interplay of light and motion transforms the deck into a dazzling representation of the legendary underwater city.

The custom court cards are a work of art in themselves, representing four distinct Atlantean races. Religious leaders exude mystery and solemnity, while noble kings, queens, and knights embody elegance and refinement. Military commanders stand as symbols of strength and resilience, while tribal clans bring vitality and primal energy to the design. Together, these figures form a continuous scroll-like fresco, much like the endless corridors of Poseidon’s palace.

The card backs feature the “Eye of Atlantis,” a sacred symbol that peers through time and space. Waterfalls, majestic architecture, and mythical guardians further enhance the sense of wonder, creating a deck that feels both ancient and otherworldly.

The collection offers several limited-edition tiers, each crafted to delight collectors and enthusiasts. The standard edition features the signature Accordion case and Wave HOLO foil, offering a lighter yet captivating experience. For those seeking more, the gift box set includes a HOLO deck, a special edition deck, and a beautifully designed box that mirrors Atlantis rising from the ocean.

The walnut display set adds gilded-edge cards, a collectible coin, and a luxurious box with multiple configurations for display. Finally, the ultra-exclusive black edition features black-edged cards and an embossed metal plate, both meticulously numbered for the discerning collector.

From the shimmering holographic designs to the intricate hand-drawn artwork, Atlantis Playing Cards is a testament to ARK’s dedication to creativity and craftsmanship. This deck isn’t just a tribute to the legend of Atlantis—it’s an invitation to explore its mysteries, one card at a time.
