The nineteenth century<\/strong> was a particularly convulsive time during the expansion<\/strong> of the border of the United States of America towards the Pacific Ocean coast. The colonization<\/strong>\u00a0meant an big technological advance and a fundamental historical fact in the development of the United States but, at the same time, a bloody exploitation and oppression of ethnic minorities. This historical process\u00a0<\/strong>has been the inspiration of all kinds of artistic expressions, headed by the Western movies genre<\/strong>. Playing cards<\/strong> design<\/strong> could not be less and there have been several artists who have used it<\/a> for their illustrations. The most recent of these creations are the WILD WEST decks<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Produced by SVI Group<\/a><\/strong>, after succesfuly launched and distributed two campaigns with increasing success<\/strong>, the cards have been illustrated <\/strong>with a traditional comic style<\/strong>, pale colors, aged-looking backgrounds and the most traditional symbols of the genre. The details<\/strong> in the design have been carefully<\/strong> treated and the most well-known references<\/strong> of the epic and historical<\/strong> characters have also been depicted.<\/p>\n

Two completely different editions<\/strong> have been created for the project. The Gunfighters Edition<\/strong> represents the American colonizers, with their weapons and their typical clothes. The Indian Warriors Edition<\/strong> shows the characters of the best known Indian tribes, from the Apaches to the Navajos, with their typical clothes and custom pips following the style of the Navajo symbolism.<\/p>\n
