This deckis a sequel to the Origins Playing Cards decks, which were voted United Cardists Best Overall Deck of 2014.

The Shadows campaign features two new decks and a special hand crafted Black Label edition, inspired by rare 16th century originals. The goal for this campaign is again to produce premium quality decks.

The Rouen 1567 deck is the Shadows companion, a carefully crafted recreation of the original historic deck, with full body one way court cards that inspired the playing cards we know and love today. It will be printed by the United States Playing Card Company.

Religion was a major theme in 16th century art and the Shadows deck is inspired by the story of Adam and Eve, and the choice between Innocentia (innocence) and Cognitio (the acquisition of knowledge). Which will you choose?

The Rouen 1567 deck will feature: A premium quality tuck case with embossing. The cards will feature recreations of extremely rare historic cards from 1567. These cards are drawn as closely as possible to the originals, with the addition of indices for playability. The subtle back design is a design based on historic references as the originals had plain backs.

Citizens are the most intricate, breathtaking playing cards we’ve ever produced. Illustrated in America by Kevin Cantrell, every aspect was handcrafted with relentless, unrivaled attention to detail. 

For the first time, we combined gold foil, hot stamping, and bronze foil to create a box design that’s eye catching, elegant, and sophisticated.

Even the inside of the box has a breathtaking, intricate guilloche pattern. The Joker and back design bear the Latin phrase “Audentes Fortuna Iuvat.” Fortune favors the brave. The Ace of Spades features an iconic Citizen “C” emblem.

From the makers of the Unrest Series of playing cards comes a new exciting series based on life and death. This series focuses on several historical events where life and death was a major factor. In this case, we honor the historic ship known simply as RMS Titanic.

Funded as a Kickstarter project on October 29, 2014  with $37,460 pledged from 582 backers, this was available in a Life and Death tuck options (each with custom stickers for First, Second and Third Class, plus crew) and unbranded version based on the Death tuck and a Deluxe edition tuck.  Using the theme of the titanic each deck the Life/Death tucks used a unique and custom variable seal that included the name, age, gender and serial number (ticket number) for each person on board, with their survival or death indicated by the tuck used (Life or Death).  An accompanying 'boarding pass' in the form of a custom card with more details of the person were also available for each person.  The decks were created and designed by Robert Tomlinson of Tomlinson Playing Cards and were printed by Expert Playing Card Company.  

This PCDB Entry is for the Titanic Death Third Class Deck [Bicycle].
