The Sigils of Fenrir Glowing Playing Cards

Final 48 hours on Kickstarter, the Sigils of Fenrir Glowing Playing Cards offer a mesmerizing blend of Norse mythology and unique design. Created by Jin, a brand designer inspired by Viking lore, this deck brings the legend of Fenrir, the powerful, misunderstood wolf of Ragnarok to life. 

The Standard Edition features a stunning 3D wolf fur pattern and a tuck box accented with blue foils, which reveal glowing blue flames in the dark. Inside, silver foiled designs include the "Spear of Odin," Gungnir, adding a touch of mythological depth. 

The cards showcase tattoo-style depictions of Fenrir against a grunge foil background, with twelve Norse runes incorporated into the court cards for added symbolism.

The Ace of Spades showcase rainbow-foiled details of Fenrir and intricate Viking designs. Number cards have custom Norse rune pips, creating a rustic, frosty aesthetic that captures the icy, rugged world of the Vikings. When fanned, the card backs reveal the Helm of Awe blessing rune, a symbol of Norse bravery and magic.

The Silver Fenrir Special Edition takes it a step further, with a 3D embossed, silver-foiled tuck box and snow-silver gilding that elevates the deck to a collector's item. It embodies the mythological essence of Fenrir, blending strength and elegance.

The GUNGNIR Collector Box Set, designed in collaboration with Charmie Dreams, includes both the standard and special editions, a dark wooden gift box with metal chains, and a "King of Rage" metal bookmark. The design echoes the power of Gungnir, Odin’s legendary spear, which is central to the myth.

With its unique glowing effects, intricate artwork, and immersive details, the Sigils of Fenrir Glowing Playing Cards invites card players and collectors to embrace the strength and resilience of the Norse wolf. Each card serves as a piece of the Fenrir myth, a tribute to courage and defiance.

Printed by WJPC and pledge starts at $16 on Kickstarter.
