Aliens have landed and infiltrated a deck of playing cards! The retro-styled borderless back design has a muted, vintage color palette that's swarming with flying saucers. The faces are chock full of alien creatures ready to beam into your next game. Despite the 100% custom design, the deck has been created with playability in mind, making it perfect for all applications.

Printed in the USA on traditionally-cut Classic stock with embossed Magic finish by the United States Playing Card Company, Ace Invaders are made using vegetable-based inks and starch-based laminates on FSC-certified paper sourced from sustainable forests. This means the cards not only shuffle, fan, and spread perfectly for all of your favorite games & tricks, they're made with the well-being of the entire planet in mind!

Each deck includes nearly-identical Jokers with a built in reveal, as well as 2 special gaff cards. All of the cards are placed into suspended animation inside a custom tuck box with a custom sticker seal for their interstellar travels.

This is an awesome deck! It's a fun alien deck, rather than scary. The colors used are fantastic, and the feel of the cards is great - what you'd expect from a USPCC printing. They look so cool in a fan! I love that the court cards are familiar, but customized.

So, I really like these playing cards. I'm not a card expert and I don't do perfect faro shuffles. There's good reason and my philosophy is quite simple. if you're doing all kinds of fancy cuts and flourishes , you're telling folks " hey this ain't magic , it's sleight of hand - ive got skills. , which is fine if you're coming across as a card-mechanic. I impress people with pure miracles , and act like I can't even shuffle the deck. Anyway it's just my MO. And another thing, these cards really have a classical look to them and an amazing fan display.
The last reason I love them is family.
My stepmother was an alien 👽.
Who writes reviews for a regular deck of cards Anyway? By the way , Pssst.. ya gotta look real close , but a vast majority of the cards are one way backers . yup .. nuff said ..

What a fun deck, price is worth it for the artwork on the jokers alone. Would love a poster of them on my wall.

Fantastic artwork from the pip designs to the alien court cards.

You won't find a better/cornier Magician in joke way to get into OOTW.

Double backer and blank card are a bonus.

Quality product, handles as you would expect.

Great fun deck Report this review

Got these cards as a substitute for one of the other decks that was out of stock and they were a complimentary replacement by the amazing team at Penguin (especially Eric). Amazing design and a fun deck. They have been traditionally cut and the finish is extraordinary. Come with 2 Gaff cards too that can be utilized to make some "magic". Pretty happy with the deck.

Great looking cards. You can make a thousand stories. I do the "you put the card in this stack face down if you believe it's red, and this pile if you believe it's black". Then use the gaf for the only card the spectator got wrong. The cards have dust from Mars in them etc etc.

I've Theory11 decks, Gemini decks, Riffle Shuffle decks, even Lotrek decks. But still this one is my favorite in my collection. Borderless back design is perfect for fans and cards feels really good in hand.

Nice and funny design Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on June 4th, 2021
The design of the faces is nice and funny, it will get you smiling. The design of the backs is a bit dissappointing according to my taste. The quality is ok, but they 'feel' a bit thinner than e.g. Bicycle playing cards. Not sure that's actually the case, maybe just a feeling. One of the jokers contains a cool reveal option, in case you would like to do a prediction trick. The double backer is also quite handy. Overall, a nice and funny deck to own.

These are awesome Report this review

I love the look and feel of the ace invaders. There so smooth. They don’t have a border but that would be the only thing I could complain about. The feel is perfect but no surprise coming from uspcc. It’s becoming my edc. Thanks penguin for free shipping all the time. I buy 1 or 2 decks at a time and there at my door in days. Love it

This is a “fun” deck plus it is printed on the thin-crushed stock making (as are many of the best P3 decks). This paper stock makes for a very fine handling deck. I’m a magician and I doubt I’ll use them in a show. For a kid’s show though it would be great if there were gaff cards available to do a traveling aces effect. I think that would be a real hit with kids.
