Math Stack

Mathematical constants and equations represent more than just numbers and are inherent in the exquisite visual design of the playing cards.

“I always wanted to be a math genius. So when I was commissioned to design a deck of cards based on math constants I was so ready.” Diana Stanciulescu, Illustration.

Math Stack contains 54 cards (including 2 jokers), illustrating and explaining 36 important mathematical constants   see more →

Star Stack

Stars in the night sky have long fascinated human beings, evoking a sense of awe and wonder. Being curious and pattern seeking, we built many images and stories around them that became part of our culture and folklore. We have learnt to carefully observe the motion of these stars in the night sky and express them in the language of mathematics, giving birth to the science of astronomy. Star Stack playing cards feature artistic illustrations of famous astronomers and astronomical constellations   see more →
