Talossan playing cards, redux

[Iason Taiwos]

I've had some custom playing cards printed as part of personal projects, and it seems like getting an individual standard deck printed costs roughly $20 (economy of scale applies).

However, before we get to doing that I'd really like to make changes to these designs once I have the free time -- I'd like to think that my graphic design skills have improved over the last two years...

I do like your original designs. Don't polish them up too much. They remind me of really old style tarot cards.

@Marcel Eðo Pairescu Tafial, UrGP This might be something for the current version of the Culture Initiative Support Fund. @Iason Taiwos The playing cards would probably garner a lot of attention in the Micronations subreddit channel.

Well, we have at least one physical location where they'd be available for sale (Vitx's store.) Might be an interesting way to advertise Talossa. Someone wanders into Nerdy Necessities (Vitx's store), and sees this unusual deck of cards. If they are anything like me, they'd buy it. (I have a small collection of unusual cards.) Maybe there should be an extra card made to add into each deck, saying something like "This playing card deck was prepared under the authority of King Txec, King of Talossa", and have our website address included.

I'm planning to keep the suit symbols, if that's the concern. I originally traced the court cards from the Moroccan deck so I'd like to change them at least.

In case anyone's interested, here are two other playing card deck designs I've made since and got printed: Copas (September 2023), Dibv (June 2024).

Fun fact: a normal German Rummy deck has 55 cards, three of which are jokers. The extra card you envision could act as the third joker.

I really like that Dibv deck. (Can I purchase one?)

I love that name!

Once I have the time to properly set up the online store, sure!
