Prime Playing Cards
Back in 2014, artist Ben Newman created a vibrant deck using only primary colors for Art of Play's very first original design. What started as a single commissioned deck has blossomed into a treasure trove of nearly a hundred collectible playing cards from artists across the globe. To celebrate a decade of creative play, we've brought this classic back for a limited reprint in this year's Mystery Deck collection (launching early December). Skip the suspense and grab yours now!

Astounding cardistry deck. The edge work and registration are razor sharp. Highly recommend grabbing a pair before they sell out.
As a collector with over 300 decks, this immediately earned a spot in my top five. The paper stock feels luxurious and snappy.
Flawless faro shuffles and fans. The custom court illustrations are deeply atmospheric and full of subtle hidden symbolism.
Arrived securely packaged in pristine condition. The numbered tax seal adds that authentic vintage archive feel.
