House of the Rising Spade Cartomancer Playing Cards Cartamundi

The House of the Rising Spade Cartomancer Playing Cards printed at Cartamundi has very unique court cards and design.

i have to say im truely impressed with the foil on this deck. The ace of spades i FULLY FOILED , and it reflects like a mirror ! Easily the most elegant Ace of Spade ever !

This is a custom deck throughout. The tuck box is printed with black foil, gold foil and inner graphics. The court cards are all very unique as well as the number cards having an unusual layout. Check out that Ace of Spades. WOW!

This deck is so over the top and luxurious, you won't want to use any other deck ever again. When I say that this deck is completely custom, you have to really hold it and appreciate it for yourself, as there is not a single trace of anything standard on these cards. The box is beautiful inside and out. The one way backs are black with beautiful and ornate metallic gold inks displaying a cross keys design. The front of each card is bordered in metallic gold, and the ace of spades and the two full sized jokers have a background that is completely of metallic gold. This deck almost feels like it's telling a story of a mysterious old mansion. The ace of spades has a huge center pip with the king and queen holding keys, and the text "Room 17" at the top of the card, adorned on either side by a set of crossed keys. The other aces, while not as ornate, also feature a key and the names of other rooms (library, cellar, and attic). The "Room 17" on the ace of spades is obviously a reference to the artist of this deck, known as Stockholm 17, who very well may be the greatest playing card designer of all time. The artwork on the faces is simply unreal. You'll never see anything like this on any other deck of cards. I can continue to type, but it couldn't do it justice, and I'd have to sit here and wax poetic for hours about this deck to even come close to describing how amazing this is. You WILL NOT regret making this purchase!

This is one of the deck that got me into the world of playing cards collection. My cousin first showed me this deck and I was blown away by how amazing this look and how well it handles. Cards fans smoothly despite the heavy foiled look.
