Prequel & Sequel

A nostalgic throwback in the midst of the digital era; each card is a tribute to the golden age of North American animation. Inspired by a long lineage of animated art—from classic studio shorts to modern homages—these cards feature whimsical characters and exaggerated expressions that echo hand-drawn marvels. Each deck tells a story, depicting daring adventures and heartfelt moments rendered in nostalgic palettes that recall timeless animation charm.

Two Thematic Editions

One edition invites you into a stark, unforgiving world where a resilient protagonist faces harrowing trials. The tuck box and interior illustrations reflect treacherous encounters and a darker tone throughout.

The alternate edition celebrates a lighthearted, whimsical journey where the same protagonist delights in playful moments and simple joys. Its tuck box and interior convey an uplifting, joyous atmosphere.

*Both main variants share the same tuck box structure and illustrations*

Court Cards

Court cards bring each theme to life: one set leans into grim, dramatic storytelling with striking, moody imagery; the other embraces cheerful, cartoonish scenes that emphasize charm and humor.

Number Cards

Each number card features atypical pip placements and is adorned with four unique motifs representing the suits. Motifs across the two themes include:

• Bats
• Skulls
• Falling Leaves
• Ghosts
• Stars
• Daisies
• Sparkles
• Music Notes (Eighth Note)

Card Backs

Each card back displays a mirrored, two-way, half-body illustration of the protagonist framed within a ring, echoing the signature closing sequence of many vintage cartoons.
