Star Kings
Star Kings playing cards inspired by space opera, 2017.
Star Kings custom playing cards, inspired by space opera, were conceived by Serhii Sheludchenko, author of the science fiction novel “The Chronicles of Star Frontiers”. The cards were published in 2017 by SVI Group, a team of creative artists, writers, engineers and travelers with an interest in playing cards. The design includes internally decorated suit symbols and gold decorations. Decks come with either white or black backgrounds.

I am the founder of The World of Playing Cards (est. 1996), a website dedicated to the history, artistry and cultural significance of playing cards and tarot. Over the years I have researched various areas of the subject, acquired and traded collections and contributed as a committee member of the IPCS and graphics editor of The Playing-Card journal. Having lived in Chile, England, Wales, and now Spain, these experiences have shaped my work and passion for playing cards. Amongst my achievements is producing a limited-edition replica of a 17th-century English pack using woodblocks and stencils—a labour of love. Today, the World of Playing Cards is a global collaborative project, with my son Adam serving as the technical driving force behind its development. His innovative efforts have helped shape the site into the thriving hub it is today. You are warmly invited to become a contributor and share your enthusiasm.
