Sailors always needed a way to stay entertained in the deckhouse (especially once the grog ran out). Playing cards have been a staple on ships throughout the centuries, with some of the best examples being incredibly intricate, hand-illustrated works of art. Unfortunately, a lot of the best examples of playing cards have been lost in time. That’s why we partnered with our buddy Zach Styles (aka That Type Guy) to recreate some of the most beautiful cards in one deck that you can play aboard your own ship.
