2020 DOTY Award: Deck Of The Year

2020 DOTY Award Nominee: ‘Deck Of The Year’, 'Best Tuck', 'Best Ace'

"I C O N S" Imperial edition

It's the first deck ever printed having both Gold and Silver hot stamped foil on the back of the cards.

"IMPERIAL" edition is a strictly limited production: Only 555 decks produced.

THE TUCK:

For such a special edition, Lotrek wanted a special tuck case. He started searching and experimenting with various materials until he decided on velvet: The most obvious and appropriate option, came last as it often happens...

The tuck box is made of velvet and has embossing and gold foil accents.

THE DECK:

The Back design - the gem of the deck- with Gold and Silver hot stamped foil on a purple background, is inspired by Byzantine mosaics. It features the two-headed eagle, the Imperial symbol.

The quest that was launched together with this product is over and the winners will be announced soon. You can read about it on www.stockholm17.com/room17

“Nec Plus Ultra” was written on the Pillars of Hercules, the limit of the known World. It means “No more further” in latin, and pass them was forbidden to all mortals. Ulysses was crazy enough to challenge Gods, and he was so hungry of knowledge to cross them. The story of Ulysses crossing the Pillars is found in the Divina Commedia by Dante Alighieri. In this version of the story, Ulysses dies here, by a huge storm sent by the angry Gods he decided to defy. The Goddess on the tuckbox that represent the Unknown and the Fate. If you followed my other projects, you know I’m in love with the reckless heroes, hungry of knowledge, who does not stay in their place and dare to challenge overwhelming powers.

• 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.

2020 is a very tough year for many people, also for me too. The power of human is little but I still believe our will is strong. I hope Bastet is here to protect us from any Chaos and Virus we are suffering today, and restore the balance and happiness to the world.

"More people wills to goddess, more powerful she is!"

I design this set of playing card is to hope more people play card with this Will & Faith, and deliver this message to the universe strongly. Now, I wish everyone good health and we will get a healthy and peaceful 2021!

This is the second collaborative release between Native Tongue Studio and Doc's Playing Card Co. The concept of this deck has gone through several iterations. What was originally a NOD to bad luck at the poker table it soon turned into a picture board of people having their own tough luck. From Wild Bill's "dead man's hand" to being attacked by bees, each court is different.

The back design complements the faces with a repeating skull pattern.

The trilogy includes the first Red Seal Dracula deck along with the ultra rare black matte Seal – only 30 existing- and the cherry on top is the 24k real gold coated seal – only 10 existing (never to be sold separately) . All 3 decks come signed with silver and gold ink.
