Originally offered by Spicy Pickle Creative as a KickStarter project in June 2014, with a failed relaunch shortly after, the rights and artwork were purchased by Albino Dragon.  After 2 years of deliberation and almost being abandoned, it was finally successful in June 2016 with 272 backers who pledged $7,857.

The original designs of the deck are all inspired by folk designs from Russian heritage and culture. Traditional folk art has always played an intrinsic part of domestic culture across Russia and represents traditions and practices of the citizens.

Russia has a very long, rich and visual cultural past, from its colorful folk costumes to its ornate religious symbols.

Russian Folk Art "Special Edition" combines flowers, leaves, people, musical instruments and geometric shapes with stylized depictions of birds and animals, as well as mythological creatures.
