From the legends of ancient beasts to the spine-tingling tales of aliens popping by for a visit, the world is teeming with dark secrets that have kept us up at night for centuries.
We’re absolutely chuffed to introduce our most ambitious endeavour yet: THE URBAN LEGEND SERIES PLAYING CARDS. This ongoing collection dives into the folklore that gives us the heebie-jeebies, kicking off with two cracking chapters: Episode Japan and Episode USA.

Episode Japan: The Spirit Moth | (Ga)In Japanese lore, moths aren’t just those pesky bugs; they’re believed to be vessels for the souls of the dearly departed, flitting off to the afterlife like they own the place.
This deck pays tribute to these ghostly critters. We’ve taken a leaf out of Mothra’s book, the cinematic giant who’s all about protecting culture and nature. As Mothra lives, dies, and pops out new offspring, she embodies the endless cycle of spirit (and, frankly, makes for a cracking story).
Episode USA: The MetamorphosisIn the States, butterflies are not just pretty faces; they’re powerful symbols of Transformation. Drawing from Native American roots and a sprinkle of modern wisdom, this deck looks at butterflies as beacons of hope, comfort, and the “Great Circle of Life” (cue the Lion King soundtrack).
But let’s not sugarcoat it—metamorphosis has a bit of a sinister side in urban folklore. It’s a stark reminder that to become something new, the old self has to bite the dust. Whether you see it as a smooth transition or a spine-chilling inevitability, the butterfly represents one thing we can’t avoid: Change.
