Another Kickstarter playing card project.

Heraldry Playing Cards were inspired by an age gone by and tales long forgotten.

The Heraldry Playing Cards will be a limited run of 5000 decks. Printed by the United States Playing Card Company with an air cushion finish and industry standard coating.

The organic borders and intricate detail are designed to evoke a time long lost and once forgotten.

I don't see the connection between Heraldry and the flower or feather theme going on

  • Pick a card, any card...no, not THAT card!

I see only the vaguest connection - it's a silly title for this deck because it has really very little to do with heraldry at all.


"Evoke a time long lost and once forgotten?"  I'm not seeing ANY of that.  Nope.  Not at all.  What this evokes for me is a grab for cash from yet another lazy designer out to dupe collectors into buying yet-another rare deck!

I agree with you guys on the theme being vaguely referenced, but i just loved the colors on this deck.

If you're referring to the backs, well - blue and white isn't exactly hard to find.

If you're referring to the fronts, where some cards have partially erased/worn off indices or pips, and where the courts have some kind of color smear thing going on...  that would be harder to find FOR A REASON.  It doesn't enhance either the beauty or the function.

I was referring to both the back AND the front, yes. I liked what the artist did with the courts, despite knowing it makes the deck deviate even more from it's supposed theme.

It doesn't enhance either the beauty or the function.
