Have yourself a very retro Christmas!

The hottest deck of this year's holiday season embraces the hottest holiday gift from decades past: an 8-bit video game!

The game is Santa's Sleigh Ride. The mission - deliver gifts all over the world before midnight! Can you do it??

Designed by Felipe Garcia Cardenas, the deck uses an authentic pixel art style throughout. With 100% custom artwork on the tuck box, card backs, faces, and Jokers, there are details to love throughout the entire package.

In addition to having a custom design, the backs of the cards are also an animated flip book! With the deck in order straight out of the box, you can riffle the edge to watch Santa wave his arm, the Reindeer move their legs, and the snow slowly drift onto the houses below.

Each of the Kings is a take on Santa Claus, the Queens are Mrs. Claus, and the Jacks are Elves. There are 2 different Reindeer Jokers, providing great story opportunities for sandwich effects.

Two gaff cards, a blank-facer and a double-backer, are included for magic tricks.

The deck is printed with Penguin Magic's exclusive UltraLux™ Finish and AquaFlow™ Coating. This combination of casino-grade European card stock and water-based coating makes the deck handle like an absolute dream, even during the cold winter weather.

The cards are traditionally cut with smooth edges that provide just the right amount of grip. They are soft enough to get to work straight out of the box, but durable enough to meet the needs of a full-time magician, cardist, or card sharp.

Only 5,000 of these decks have been printed, each with an individually-numbered seal. They are a perfect stocking stuffer or holiday treat!

Nice cards, amusing art Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on November 27th, 2023
Received this deck as a freebie with a recent order. The artwork on the box is amusing. I kind of want to play the (fictional) video game depicted.

The cards feel good. The art on the back of the cards is cool, and the faces are also cool. Everything is 8-bit style including the indexes and pips. The attention to detail in all of the art is great!

Four stars instead of five for two reasons: The tuck box is surprisingly difficult to open. Mine is a bit crumpled now after finally wrestling it open. It is getting chewed up a bit more each time I open it, and I am being as gentle as possible. Guessing if the box paper were a bit more slick it would be less inclined to catch as it is opened.

Also, the animation is super subtle. At first I thought maybe the cards weren't actually animated. I had to re-read the description of the cards and then really look closely to notice it. Santa's wave is more of a wiggle. The reindeer very, very slightly wiggle their legs. The snow barely moves. Granted, this probably makes them more functional as regular playing cards, but I'd expected more noticeable movement.

Anyway, it is a fun deck with fun art, and the cards are good.
