Fantasy, Myth & Legend on Playing Cards & Games

Fantasy on playing cards ranges from folklore and fairy tales to sword-and-sorcery, game tie-ins and artist projects. Subjects include dragons, wizards and mythical creatures, heroic quests, Gothic and occult motifs, and literary retellings. Illustration, photo-montage and hybrid approaches appear on courts, aces and jokers; some packs add map textures, heraldry, runic detail or special finishes.
