Deck of the Living Dead

This deck is the latest from Bent Castle Workshops a tiny independent publisher (mainly Chris Pallace and Ben Crenshaw) who, up until this point, has been able to self fund their labors of love. They are now looking to fund the printing of the Deck of the living Dead. The design and artwork for the deck has been done for some time, but the funds to produce it have been elusive. That’s where Kickstarter comes to the rescue!

Have a look at the deck!

The aces are ornate iron cemetery gates. The number cards continue that theme and incorporate the unique suit icons we developed for this deck. Note that  the king of hearts is still the “suicide king”. All standard deck features have been retained. They have also designed the deck with 4 oversized indexes so it’s easy to use for both right and left handed players. One other feature unique to Bent Castle decks are the X cards. They are four extra cards, one for each suit, that can be used as you wish. Use them as wild cards in classic games. Make-up new games. Substitute them for other cards, like 8’s – so crazy eights becomes crazy reapers. Or use one as a reveal in your favorite card trick. The cards will come in sets of 2 decks. Each set has a deck with black backs and a deck with corpse green backs. Both decks have the same faces.

There’s less than a week left on this Kickstarter, so shell out a little green and get your own green deck (and then some). Your friends will be green with envy!
