2018 Deck Released at 2018 52 + Joker event in Cleveland, Ohio.

A true collector's item with gold and silver foil on the back of all cards, printed on black/bronze metallic stock. Only 130 "Treasure" decks were printed and the rarity of the stock along with the beauty of the two perfectly registered foils justify the name!

• 54 cards - Poker size
• Printed on two-color (black/bronze) metallic stock
• Gold and Silver foil on the back of each card
• Tuck case made of a very dark, light absorbing stock. Gold and Silver foil with debossing.
• Hand numbered and signed on the bottom of the tuck
• Strictly limited edition of 130 decks

Kickstarter 2014 project by Jody Eklund. 3 decks have been printed: Golden Spike, limited Gold Edition and very limited Black Ink edition. The Bicycle branded version was produced by USPCC, but the Black Ink and Golden Spike (Gold) versions were printed by Legends.

A whole year after the first Venexiana deck, the story continues with a travel to the dark heart of 18th century Venice. Venexiana Dark features a series of obscure and marginal characters who complete the picture of this haunting city. Thieves, assassins, prostitutes, wicked noblemen and masters of deception are all on board in this imaginary gondola. Hop in and follow the journey to the unknown through the narrow canals of Venice.

Venexiana Dark is in fact two different decks: The "Masked" and the "Revealed" editions, with the first one featuring the courts wearing masks, while the second has the courts unmasked and their faces revealed!

There was a mixup in production which resulted in the tucks for the decks being mixed (masked card in revealed tuck and vice-versa).  This was only noticed after initial shipments were started and then shipment halted to allow the decks to be re-packaged.  As a result, some decks exist with the wrong cards in the wrong tuck, but the majority are assumed to have been corrected.

Venexiana Gold also won the Best Innovation on a Deck of Playing Cards award from UnitedCardists 2014 Deck of the Year http://unitedcardists.com/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=6448

Created as a pair of decks, Anubis and Osiris, these decks from artist Steve Minty was funded on KickStarter by 2,154 backers who pledged $93,907.  The Anubis deck featured a black tuck and card background, while the Osiris deck used a deep blue tone.  The tucks are with gold foil and embossed with a custom seal, while the cards also have gold foil on the back.  

• Extremely intricate Gold & Silver foil on both sides of each card, hot stamped over the printed artwork. This makes registration particularily difficult and it has never been attempted before.
• CMYK + metallic gold inks on both sides of the cards.
• Gold & Silver foil plus Embossing & Debossing for the tuck case, creating a unicue depth variation with an amazing effect in the light.
• Smooth handling despite the quantity of foil, making the deck perfectly playable.

With DAMASK we reached a technical and aesthetical limit in the number of different foils that can be used.

It was time for a more sophisticated challenge:

To go back to the basics and using just one foil -and a lot of imagination- to create a deck of spectacular luxury, an absolute must for every serious collector!

The result was "SILK" playing cards.

The play of light on a background made of incredibly thin lines that imitate the weaving in renaissance silk fabrics, creates an amazing 3D effect that no photo can capture.

Thanks to our workshop and expert plate makers, we're able to produce a deck with such a detail that will take your breath away!

• Limited edition to 350.
• No other color variations of the deck will ever be printed.
• Tuck case: Black and Gold foil with embossing on black stock.
• 100% custom courts inspired by renaissance engravings
• Gold foil on all cards, front and back
• Amazing handling

A true achievement in modern era of playing cards. Lotrek pushed the envelope one more time, after ICONS and Liturgy, comes now Golden OATH the first deck ever to be printed only with foil.

Created as a pair of decks, Anubis and Osiris, these decks from artist Steve Minty was funded on KickStarter by 2,154 backers who pledged $93,907.  The Anubis deck featured a black tuck and card background, while the Osiris deck used a deep blue tone.  The tucks are with gold foil and embossed with a custom seal, while the cards also have gold foil on the back.
