Muertos Playing Cards. The Day of the Dead tradition engraved in gold

 

Although this is not the very first deck inspired in the popular Mexican festivity of El Día de los Muertos, the design of these cards is quite original and its name is short and concise: Muertos.

It is really interesting how a colorful celebration like The Day of the Dead can be depicted in such a beautiful way using just two colors: gold and black. Steve Minty,  the artist, has designed the Night deck, inspired by the tradition and also by historical and cultural aspects related to this well-known fiesta.

 

 

The deck is already funded, and the campaign has reached the funding goal needed to unlock a second deck, the Mourning Gold Edition, with the same designs but with a fantastic combination of white and gold colors.

 

 

For high pledge levels, $500 and $1,000, there is even available the wooden edition, a deck completely made with wood cards.

If you like the design, go to the project website and raise your pledge.

Good luck!
