Description
On those deadly silent nights, do you ever speculate that we are all stuck in a gamble, destined to lose? Watched by some unspeakable existences, peace is nothing but an illusion to conceal the rioting chaos. All victories are momentary, and life advances to deteriorate. Could it be that everything we think we know – be it a strange encounter or our own consciousness; a spectacle or a traumatic moment; a gain or a loss – nothing but the gods' shuffle?
Product Design
By carefully marrying Lovecraftian horror with the long-standing tradition of poker, this collection speaks to the underlying connections between card games and the Cthulhu mythopoeia. Including two decks of different colors, makings, and uses, it is more than a novelty entertainment but a highly usable, artistic treat for beginners, seasoned players, aficionados, and collectors alike.
Face Cards
Each court card and ace card features the custom illustration of a Lovecraftian deity.
Outer Gods roaming the universe and watching from the galaxy. Will they send down power or destruction?
Elder Gods who once protected mankind but now live as ignoble existences between dreams and reality. Will they still answer our callings?
Great Old Ones sunken in sleep, who came to earth from time immemorial, remained dormant in different parts of the world. When will they awake, and what happens when they do?
Devils walking amongst men, who are responsible for the critical moments in mankind's history and truly just different manifestations of the same evilness. What conspiracy are they plotting this time?
Paper DUO
Two cardistry-grade decks with the following features:
ONE DESIGN TWO COLORS: Convenient for players, rewarding for collectors.
HANDLING & PRESENTATION: The air-cushioned surface has dimples to reduce friction for better tactility; the punch-pressed underside helps cards slide smoothly across any surface.
ECO-FRIENDLY PLANT-BASED INK: yields more vibrant, long-lasting colors on triple-layered black core paper without producing a pungent odor.
