From the eerie tales of ancient monsters to the spine-tingling encounters with extraterrestrials, the world is chock-full of dark secrets that have given us sleepless nights for ages (thanks a lot, history).
We’re chuffed to introduce our most audacious venture yet: THE URBAN LEGEND SERIES PLAYING CARDS. This ongoing anthology dives into the folklore that shapes our nightmares, kicking off with two thrilling chapters: Episode Japan and Episode USA.

Episode Japan: The Spirit Moth | (Ga)In Japanese folklore, the moth isn’t just a pesky insect—it’s a spiritual vessel. Legend has it that the souls of the dearly departed take the form of moths to wing their way to the afterlife (talk about a dramatic exit).
This deck pays homage to the paradox of these ethereal beings. We’ve drawn inspiration from the iconic Mothra, the gentle giant of cinema who’s all about protecting culture and nature. Just like Mothra, who lives, dies, and is reborn through her offspring, this deck represents the endless cycle of the spirit (not your average moth, is it?).
Episode USA: The MetamorphosisIn the States, the butterfly is a potent symbol of Transformation (you know, the whole ‘new beginnings’ thing). Rooted in Native American heritage and modern clichés, this deck delves into the butterfly as a beacon of hope, comfort, and the "Great Circle of Life" (cue the Lion King soundtrack).
But don’t get too cosy—metamorphosis has a darker side in urban folklore. It’s a sobering reminder that to become something new, the old self must kick the bucket. Whether you see it as a serene transition or a chilling inevitability, the butterfly embodies one universal truth: Change is the one thing you can’t dodge.
