Omnia Illumina Playing Cards Deck EPCC
55 cards, including a silver suicide queen
Gold foil outside and inside the tuck box
Embossing
Printed by Expert Playing Card Co.
The main Omnia theme is cyclicality, especially in the sense of something constantly re-creating itself, the eternal return. The main symbol is the Uroboros, the immortal God-snake who eats its own tail, represents the beginning and the end of time.
There are three different Omnia decks, and every deck represents a dimensional plane in the Omnia Universe. Oscura is the dark side, Illumina the bright one and Suprema is the plane where the Gods live.
Every court live a different reincarnation in each deck: in Oscura their soul is more dark, they are more malicious, angry or sad. In Illumina they are much more happy, brave and generous. In Suprema they are ascended to Divine, and show their power with elaborate armors, jewels and wings. Think every deck as a different mirror, who reflects every Omnia court with a different soul.
The Omnia Illumina Playing Cards Deck printed at EPCC is a decent mythology playing card deck that has custom faces
This is one of several decks that would later become two series, Omnia the First (2015), and Omnia The Golden Age (2016). The Omnia stories are inspired by Viking and Greek mythology, and reflect a universe and narrative that is designer Giovanni Meroni's own creation.
In "Omnia: The First", there are three decks, each one representing a dimensional plane in the Omnia Universe: Omnia Oscura is the dark side; Omnia Illumina is the bright side; and Omnia Suprema is the plane where the gods live. The main symbol in the Omnia decks is the Uroboros, the immortal god-snake who eats its own tail, represents the beginning and the end of time. Other symbols that these Omnia decks draw on include Egyptian symbols like the Ankh, Ibis, Anubis; Norse mythology such as Odin and Freya; ancient Roman gods like Janus and Fortuna; and even the Philosopher's Stone.
The court cards don't use identical artwork, but feature subtle changes in the art, to reflect the different themes of each. In Oscura their soul is more dark, malicious, angry or sad; in Illumina they are more happy, brave and generous; in Suprema they show divine power with elaborate armors, jewels and wings. The Illumina deck is my favourite, because it is the more positive of the decks, but all three have superb artwork in Giovanni's unique style, that the collector will enjoy. - BoardGameGeek reviewer EndersGame
