Hesslers Enhanced
Matt Hessler’s “Enhanced” four-colour playing cards, 2015.
Matt Hessler’s “Enhanced” four-colour playing cards feature standard black indices but with four differently coloured suit symbols: green clubs, red hearts, blue spades and yellow diamonds. In addition, the court cards are a full-colour variation of the standard Bicycle faces. This superb balance between tradition and innovation not only makes the suits more easily recognizable during play but also creates a more vibrant and enjoyable pack to play with. Decks are manufactured using highest quality casino grade (bee) paper by the United States Playing Card Company and are wonderfully smooth to handle.

The cards have standard black indices but four differently coloured suit symbols: green clubs, red hearts, blue spades and yellow diamonds. Decks also include 2 jokers - the “Black Maria” and the “Omnibus Knave” - plus rules for playing the game of Hearts and one extra bonus card containing some of Matt Hessler’s favourite aphorisms, such as I choose a calm, relaxed and peaceful mind.

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.
