A series of playing cards that capture the old-world splendor of the storied town of Hamelin (Hameln in German), the whimsical nature of the Pied Piper's magic flute, and the darkest elements of this fabled tale. Told for over 800 years, the story of the Pied Piper has captured our imagination for centuries, and now we tell the story in this beautiful deck of cards.

Every card is hand-illustrated and custom from top to bottom. Every details matter as they told the story about the Pied Piper with the town of Hameln. The Courts shows the characters of the story.

At the center of this edition is a beautifully illustrated card back featuring the Market Church of St. Nicolai (Marktkirche St. Nicolai), a landmark deeply woven into the story’s history. According to the legend, it is likely that within these very walls the parents of Hamelin were gathered to celebrate Saint John and Paul's Day, unaware of the sorrow unfolding outside as the Pied Piper led their children away.

The Market Church of St. Nicolai stands as more than just a backdrop for the story, and centerpiece for the town of Hamelin. The church itself is literally an heirloom, passing down the legacy of The Pied Piper from generation to generation.

The Heirloom Edition features an updated deep red tuck with two foils, embossing, and the Market Church prominently displayed on the back. The cards feature striking red hues and gold foil throughout including full bleed on the card back.

Each ace, court card and joker features an image connected with the game. The pip cards are plain. The cards have been printed to look play-worn and aged, but are actually high quality cards with a 'linen finish'.

Inspired by the lower city neon lights and nightlife, the Neontech color scheme is a representation of "style over substance." Doesn't matter the reference, Blade Runner 2049, Altered Carbon, Ghost in the Shell, Battle Angel Alita, or Cyberpunk 2077, the triad is always there: Yellow, Cyan, and Purple command Cybercity. Identities, payments, gear patents, life reboots, secrets... Our back cards were inspired by the central AI in which everyone and everything is connected in Cybercity. Every Cyberware is somehow connected to the core, so our dependency on the machine never ends. Each court card was hand-drawn from scratch. They were the start of our deck and are the point where we deep-dove into the cyberpunk theme. All four suits represent an iconic cyberpunk group: ♠ Spades - Techs Not part of the lower level but also far from a place in the corporations. They have found in their Cyberware a way of living: fixing, modifying, and smuggling for those who can´t afford it. ♥ Hearts- Federation Despite being governed by corporations, the law enforcement path should not be crossed lightly. Their agents might not be as well equipped as the corporate agents, but their brutality is more than enough to compensate for their lack of gear. ♣ Clubs - Hackers Being a hacker in the cyberpunk world is about standing up against corporate supremacy and defying authority. Cyberware is just a tool, so you can be one with the network and fight them from the inside out. ♦ Diamonds - Sleeves Cyberpsychosis is the state one's mind reaches when the body cannot support the Cyberware's psychological burden anymore. For those who cannot afford treatment the only way is to transfer their consciousness to an empty cyborg, with the hope of one day being able to return to a human body again.

Rogues are always on the go. Rolled over by the corporations, hated by the police, they migrate from town to town, in search of jobs or merc gigs. They are always on alert mode with their gear and cars ready. These are the elements that inspired the bright orange and shining silver foil on our intense black tuck box.

The Tanuki Yukaku Playing Cards draw inspiration from whimsical yet haunting tales in Japanese folklore, stories where the boundary between illusion and reality quietly dissolves. In Japanese folklore, the tanuki (狸) is a mischievous creature known for its playful nature and ability to shape-shift. Some stories tell of tanuki hosting grand feasts, luring humans to join, only to trap them in confusion or make them lose track of time. The Yūkaku (遊郭), or pleasure district, was a specialized entertainment area in Japan during the Edo period (1603-1868). These areas were known for their captivating performances and indulgent experiences. The Number Cards in our Hanafuda Edition offer a unique twist – a 4-in-1 puzzle! When you piece together four cards of the same number but different suits, they form a beautifully detailed handscroll. But the experience doesn't stop there – immerse yourself in the traditional Japanese card game Koi Koi. Feel the charm and excitement of this classic game while connecting with Japanese culture.
