Joker and the Thief presents Gunslingers Playing Cards - a rather posh poker deck that tips its hat to the outlaws, legends, and spectres of the Wild West.
Picture this: in the brutal expanse of the frontier, saloon whispers tell of two gunfighters who laugh in the face of death itself: The Joker and The Thief. No one’s laid eyes on them and lived to recount the tale. All that’s left in their wake is an ominous Ace of Spades - the card of doom. Now these immortal tricksters are back as rogues of the plains, galloping through saloons, stagecoaches, and bank vaults, their calling card resting ominously in the dust beside those who just weren't quick enough (sorry, mate!).
Each court card is a hand-drawn masterpiece, depicting characters born from the grit and gunsmoke of the frontier - soldiers, desperadoes, drifters, and the brave leaders of a land long gone astray. The pips, suits, and tuck case boast the rugged texture and rich colour palette of the Old West, blending tradition with a darker, almost mythical vibe.
Available in two flavours, each with its own flair:
The Standard Edition is bold and classy, splashed with deep red and green inks across the cards, all wrapped up in a tuck case finished with a cheeky hint of orange metallic ink and heavy embossing that shouts sophistication. A deck built for your daily shenanigans that still knows how to charm on display.
The Outlaw Edition is where the legend comes alive. The tuck case shines with hot stamped foil, whilst the cards sport metallic ink that glimmers in the sunlight with every shuffle - a sparkle worthy of the gunslingers it pays tribute to.
If you’re a collector on the hunt for something truly special, both editions come in a Gilded Edition, strictly limited to 52 numbered and sealed decks - as unique and finite as the suit itself.
