Vizago Playing Cards LPCC

Annette Abolins is the artist behind VIZAGO Playing Cards. She is fascinated by faces, and has always loved drawing and painting them in all shapes and forms on her pottery and other work. And because VIZAGO is Esperanto for "faces", she's applied this concept of faces to playing cards - with absolutely stunning results! There are two decks: VIZAGO Lumina is a deck with a red card back, while VIZAGO Lumino is a matching deck with a blue card back - both gorgeous.

Each suit has its own flavour and colour, with Hearts being red, the Diamonds having more of a green focus; the theme colour for the Spades is blue, and the Clubs feature purple and a touch of yellow. The Aces all have faces incorporated into the oversized pips. This concept has been applied to the number cards as well, so that these pips also have the face design inside them. Rounding out the package for both decks are a couple of cheerful and playful jokers.

The VIZAGO deck is a real artistic achievement, and I find it absolutely stunning! These cards have so much charm and character, and an immediately striking visual impact. It's very different from any other deck that I've ever seen, and yet it works because the deck as a whole has an internal consistency of style. I'm glad to see a true artist applying her skills to the world of playing cards! - BoardGameGeek reviewer EndersGame
