Welcome to a wild ride through playing card design! The Frankenstein Series takes Mary Shelley's iconic tale and tosses it into four completely bonkers thematic universes. This isn’t just a collection; it’s a modular art piece for your tabletop! Each deck comes in a specially shaped, die-cut puzzle tuck box, and when you line them up, they create one stunning display—just like how the monster was cobbled together from bits and bobs (and we do mean bits).
The Four Faces of the Monster
Each timeline is a limited edition, with only 500 decks produced per theme, featuring fully custom artwork, pips, and court cards that fit their world like a glove:
The Gothic Edition (The Past) - The Theme: A moody nod to 19th-century Gothic horror. Think dark, brooding vibes, capturing the tragic essence of Victor Frankenstein’s lab (where things went terribly wrong). - The Box: Made from premium Pearl Paper with custom die-cuts, it’s got that luxurious, haunting elegance that’ll make you feel posh even when you’re up to your elbows in spooky shenanigans.
The Comic Edition (The Present) - The Theme: A gritty, high-contrast love letter to classic horror comics. Plus, the cards are hiding a fully illustrated comic narrative within (because why not have double the fun?). - The Box: Nestled in an eco-textured, rugged I-Kraft Paper tuck box that feels just like your favourite vintage graphic novel—proper nostalgic!
The Future Edition (The Tomorrow) - The Theme: A cyberpunk take on the legend. Here, the monster’s decked out in cold cybernetics, neon bio-tech, and futuristic tweaks (because why not?). - The Box: Wrapped in a dazzling Purple Foil tuck box that practically demands pride of place on your shelf.
The Egypt Edition (The Mythos) - The Theme: A bold dive into mythological mash-ups. This deck reimagines Frankenstein through the lens of ancient Egyptian mysticism, making it a right old crossover with Anubis and Osiris. - The Box: Features a custom die-cut opening that reveals rich, ancient iconography and a regal colour palette (perfect for all you history buffs out there).
Premium Craftsmanship & Backer Exclusives
The Gilded Touch: Each edition comes with stunning Gilded Edges, turning the card backs into shimmering works of art (impressive, eh?).
Elite Handling: Manufactured by The Key Card Playing Cards Company, these beauties are crafted using their signature Supreme Finish and Neoclassic Stock (Premium 310g black core paper)—ideal for cardistry, magic, and smooth shuffling (because who likes a sticky card?).
How do you see the monster? As a gothic tragedy, a comic book anti-hero, a futuristic oddity, or an ancient deity? The choice is yours. Piece it all together and bring the legend to life!
