Jack the Ripper & Sherlock Holmes Playing Cards

Step into the fog-laden streets of Victorian London with Anti-Faro's Jack the Ripper & Sherlock Holmes Playing Cards, a fusion of mystery, history, and puzzle-solving intrigue. Merging the terror of Jack the Ripper’s crimes with the brilliance of Sherlock Holmes’ deductive mind, this deck is more than just a deck of playing cards—it’s an immersive puzzle game where players must analyze hidden clues, follow trails, and uncover the truth before the next crime unfolds.

Each card is intricately designed to reflect the eerie atmosphere of 19th-century London, featuring gas-lit alleys, cryptic symbols, and a vintage aesthetic that transports players into a world of suspense. The deck contains concealed evidence, challenging players to solve the case. Only those with sharp observation skills and logical reasoning can crack the mystery before Jack the Ripper disappears into the night once again.

Four editions are available during the Kickstarter campaign- Checkmate, Castling, Stalemate, and Skewer. Each version offers a unique perspective on the suspects, with subtle differences that enhance the narrative.

In the Castling and Skewer Editions, characters appear unassuming, blending into the shadows of London’s criminal underworld. In the Stalemate and Checkmate Editions, their expressions reveal guilt, capturing them in the act of their crimes. The Castling and Checkmate Editions also feature luxurious cold foil, elevating the haunting elegance of the deck.

The card backs mirror the eerie door of the Shadow Vanishing Tuck Box, with intricate designs enhancing the deck’s vintage appeal.  The number cards form a fragmented old London map, and when assembled, they reveal secret locations, adding an interactive puzzle element.

 

The Shadow Vanishing Tuck Box adds an extra layer of mystery; when closed, Jack the Ripper’s ominous silhouette looms, but upon opening, it vanishes, leaving behind only a chilling symbol. The Detective’s Tuck Box, sealed with a wax emblem, unfolds to reveal intricate details, evoking the thrill of a detective’s pursuit.

Each edition offers stunning edge printing and fine detailing, making them a must-have for collectors. The complete Collector’s Set and Half Brick Set provide the full experience, including exclusive additions for those eager to immerse themselves in the mystery.

Designed for those who appreciate the art of storytelling through playing cards, this deck invites you to unravel secrets, decipher hidden messages, and step into a thrilling game of intellect and intrigue. Pledge starts at $14 on Kickstarter.
