Step into the delightful chaos of the early 1900s with the Beetle Backs (Cobalt Edition). These beauties boast elegantly embossed tuck cases, adorned with not one, not two, but three layers of foil — because why not go all out? Crafted from top-notch 310 gsm cardstock, they feel as good as they look. Inside, you’ll discover a classic mirrored back design splashed in vibrant colours that practically shout, “Play me!” Ideal for games, magic tricks, or just showing off your impeccable taste (who doesn’t love a bit of ostentation?). Metallic Pantone inks dance across both backs and faces of the Cobalt Edition like they’re auditioning for a role in a fancy art film.
Created by The Gentleman Wake and designed by the talented Widakk Design, the Beetle Backs are the result of two years of sweat and elbow grease to craft a deck that’s got collectors, players, and magic aficionados all a-flutter. Classic and gorgeous, they channel the elegance of yesteryear while employing the finest modern printing techniques. Plus, they tell a rather Kafkaesque tale of an entomologist lost in the world of Dynastinae scarab beetles (because why not throw in a bit of existential dread?).
For those who fancy themselves players, collectors, or just lovers of all things magical, the Beetle Backs is a collection that hits the sweet spot between classic illustration and contemporary design. It’s all wrapped up in premium tuck boxes that flaunt multiple foil layers and sumptuous embossing — because who wouldn’t want their cards to feel like royalty?
