Cryptids of North America Poker Deck

Cryptids of North America Poker Deck

$16.00

A lovingly illustrated poker deck of 54 cryptids from North America, representing all 50 United States and parts beyond. Each cryptid illustration is named and placed by state, rendered in bold color, and playfully arranged among the pips. Decks come in a die cut, handmade, 80lb cardstock tuck box stamped in gold ink and wrapped in twine; reminiscent of a field journal filled with illustrated identification cards.

The card design is entirely custom, yet familiar—suits, numbers, and typography are in expected locations, with tightly refined margins for compact spreads, and quick readability. Printed by the excellent folks at MPC on casino/magician-quality M31 linen stock, cards are coated with an incredibly luxurious BETA finish for amazing handling and durability.

You’ll be delighted by the heavily researched, highly accurate, and difficult to disprove illustrations of all the classic cryptids: Bigfoot, Chupacabra, Enfield Horror, Flatwoods Monster, Hodag, Jersey Devil, Mothman, Screaming Kangaroos, Tahoe Tessie, Wendigo, and many, many more!

Cryptids and Poker

What began as a simple drawing challenge to illustrate one cryptid each day in October, soon became a slightly larger challenge to complete an illustrated deck of 54 playing cards. The vast majority of these illustrations and design elements were streamed live on Twitch over the course of a couple months, Everything was drawn in Adobe Illustrator with final adjustments made in photoshop to reflect/mirror each design.

This cryptid deck uses the highest quality M31 linen card stock coated with an ultra-smooth BETA finish from MakePlayingCards.com. Because playability is the most important element of any deck, only the best was used.

This has truly been a fun project to share with the viewers! I hope these cryptid cards give you as much enjoyment and delight as I had creating them.
