How many cards?
54-card playing cards with cute queer characters:
- Four suits of 13 cards
- Two Jokers
Instead of the traditional deck of cards ,this one shows all kinds of gender, body types and queer persons. A great gift for everybody who is interested in a diverse and inclusive society.
Thank you, Isabella! We're so glad they resonate with you. Have fun!
Every card is a separate piece of art!! Environmentally sustainable, queer and fun :) Highly recommend
Rory Midhani’s card drawings on the Club of Queens deck of playing cards are smart, sexy and sassy, incorporating a stylish collection of “clubbers, drag, nude and leather” queer cuties on every card. The card stock is durable and the size of the cards makes them easy to hold and deal. Highly recommended!
This is by far my most favorite set of playing cards. The illustrations are super cute and the print and material are very high quality. I got two for myself as a Canaster Set and ordered a bunch more as presents for my queer friends. <3

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.
