Joker and the Thief presents Gunslingers Playing Cards - a posh poker deck that pays tribute to the outlaws, legends, and spectral figures from the Wild West.
In a land where the only certainty is uncertainty, tales swirl around saloons of two gunfighters who’ve had a bit too much luck: The Joker and The Thief. No one who's seen their faces has lived to tell the tale (not that anyone’s rushing to volunteer). All they leave behind is a lone Ace of Spades - the card of death (cheery, isn’t it?). These immortal tricksters have re-emerged as renegades of the plains, making their rounds through saloons, stagecoaches, and bank vaults, with their calling card left behind for those who just couldn’t keep up.
Each court card is a hand-drawn masterpiece, showcasing characters pulled from the grit and gunpowder of the frontier - soldiers, rogues, drifters, and the steadfast leaders of a land gone awry. The pips, suits, and tuck case boast the rugged texture and vibrant colour palette of the Old West, combining tradition with a touch of dark, mythic flair.
Available in two editions, each with its own flair:
The Standard Edition is bold yet refined, featuring deep red and green inks across the cards, with a tuck case finished in subtle orange metallic ink and heavy embossing on the design elements. A deck that’s made for daily use but still looks good on the mantelpiece (or wherever you keep your treasures).
The Outlaw Edition is the stuff of legends. The tuck case gleams with hot-stamped foil, while the cards feature metallic ink that catches the light with every flick - a shimmer that would make any gunslinger proud.
For those of you who have a penchant for the extraordinary, both editions also come as a Gilded Edition, strictly limited to 52 numbered and sealed decks - as unique and finite as the suit itself (because who doesn’t love a bit of exclusivity?).
