How are playing cards made?
We are so glad you asked. After Rory designed all 54 cards, we printed the cards in Melk, Austria. Come behind the scenes with us here to see how our high quality playing cards are made.
Who invented playing cards? And when?
We read a book on this, so you don't have to. The TLDR: most likely, people in what is now India in 700/800 AD created playing cards as a more transportable version of chess.
Don't get me wrong, I love the idea and the general aesthetic of the cards. The material and print seems durable and the QR code providing a number of card games these could be used for is a nice touch.
The issue I have is with the hues used for the number cards, which for me feel too dull but I do understand that's a matter or personal preference but it has lead to confusion / mismatching in some days in the late afternoons and evening and make the cards less fun than they could be - as the face cards show.
All in all, this are very nice cards to play with but lack a bit sparkle for me, as I prefer starker contrast and a more vivid colour sheme.
Hey Lars, so much for your thoughtful feedback! We’re glad you enjoyed Club of Queens, and really appreciate your point on increasing the saturation for a poppier contrast. We keep a running list of how to improve the design for future print runs, so we'll keep your input in mind.
I AM a professional Psychic Reader, and I use cards; a few years ago, I was guided and led to begin using playing cards for Divination, and because I happen to be a Gay man, who has been a part of Pride celebrations, I knew I wanted some LGBTQIA2s+ representation in my decks, as well. I love the uniqueness of the colors, as well as the diversity represented on the cards. Not at all coincidentally, I received these decks on the date of a Full Moon in Aquarius, and while I was offering Readings at a Pride Event. I was already at said Pride Event, otherwise, I would have had them available for clients. Nevertheless, I was able to spend the following day with these cards, and getting to know them was so very enjoyable. I cannot wait to use them for Readings!!
Still love it ;)
Danke Sabine! ✨
Amazing quality and beautiful design. Each card is a piece of art! So in love with this card game! Making games more inclusive is so important and I love that Polar Embassy is doing just that😍
Hey Roxane, thank you so much for the kind words, we really appreciate it! Thanks for supporting our mission to make games more cheeky and inclusive! ✨☃️
This deck is incredible - there's a unique, equally fun, piece of art on each card. Can you sell posters of these?? I'd love to buy large prints for my home!
Hey Lizzy, actually yes, Rory sells the original prints! Check out his website - or the bookshop Ivallan's here in Berlin, I know they carry them too. Thanks again for your order, and the review. ✨
