You know we love a set of well-designed and well-crafted playing cards. This set, takes deck design to the next level. The Hive Playing Cards is an independently produced set of decks by Kings Wild Project (of the Federal 52, Sherlock Holmes and Independence playing card series fame) and created in collaboration with illustrator Brendan Hong. It is the first deck in the Kings Wild Artist Series of playing cards.
“Taking playing card art from across the globe and from the past, The Hive seeks to create a beautiful deck of original art while firmly keeping a lot of art and design tradition of playing cards such as the Suicide King and One-eyed Jacks. It is a fully customized deck of (54) cards from it’s unique court cards to customized back design to Bee inspired Ace of spades. The deck comes in match set colors of a blue and red back design.”
