Everyone’s played some kind of card game over the span of their lifetime. Poker, Blackjack, Gin Rummy, Crazy Eights. The list could go on forever, and people lose their riches every year to the plethora of casinos around the nation.
Playing cards are thought to have originated around the 14th century in Europe, but others say that they were invented in China and migrated to Europe. Either way, it’s a big part of human history and there are tons of decks out there to satisfy whatever strange iconography you have a taste for, from Posh to the rotationally symmetric to pop art decks.
Kikkerland has created their own optically-mesmerizing deck in their set of Pixel Playing cards. The pixelated design seems to be see-through, but it looks like they won’t give away your hand anytime in the near future. Put on your game face.
