Designer Michael Scott has brought to life the Triangle Playing Cards after raising USD$13,900 through a successful Kickstarter campaign in May 2019.

Scott has created over 20 playing card decks through Kickstarter, many of which have been successful, including the 8-Bit Mafia deck.

This is a hand-designed deck of uniquely shaped playing cards, each card utilized the unusual space to maximize the use of all 3 corners. The size of the deck is 88mm on all 3 sides (3.5" x 3.5" x 3.5"). German casino grade paper printed by The Freedom Playing Card Company; with a synthetic triangle tuck foil stamp seal. There are 56 cards in the deck: 52 playing cards, 2 Jokers, 2 gaff cards

The triangle decks are a real conversation starter and a fun alternative to a poker deck.
