Since 2016 the goal of Butterfly Playing Cards has been to spread beauty, joy, wonder, and peace. Butterfly and Penguin Magic are joining together to stand for peace.

100% of the proceeds of this special edition Blue & Yellow deck of Butterflies will be donated to humanitarian causes to aid the people of Ukraine. Donations will be made equally to:

● United Help Ukraine - https://unitedhelpukraine.org
● Razom (Together) for Ukraine - https://razomforukraine.org
● Ukrainian Women's League of America - https://unwla.org/top-news/call-for-humanitarian-aid
● Doctors Without Borders Ukraine - https://www.doctorswithoutborders.org/w ... es/ukraine

Additional donations can be made here.

This special version of Butterfly Playing Cards is designed by Stefan Eriksson & Tereza Kovandová.

This deck is being offered as a preorder in an effort to distribute funds to the people as quickly as possible. Preorders will be open for one week, until March 11th, to determine the print quantity. We expect to ship the decks to all customers this Spring.

Why? Because USPCC respects borders like Putin?
Just buy two bricks and you'll find at least one deck with good borders.
You want to reclaim your mind and get it out of the hands of the cultural engineers who want to turn you into a half-baked moron consuming all this trash that’s being manufactured out of the bones of a dying world.

Ondrej had a chat with Erik Tait on the Penguin Magic Podcast where he talks about the origin of the Butterfly decks, and of course the special edition for Ukraine:

These arrived to our warehouse late on Thursday, so we began shipping orders today. Our shipping team is awesome, but there are a lot of Butterfly decks to get out the door! Everyone who preordered (thank you!) should be getting your shipping notices within the next few days.

As happens with almost any print run, there was a small overage of decks. Once all of the preorders have been shipped, we'll see how many additional decks we have left and make those available for purchase. All profits will of course be donated for those decks as well.

Hi folks! All of the Butterfly for Ukraine preorders have shipped. We have 100 additional decks that we've just put up for direct purchase. As with the preorders, all profits will be donated.

These are in stock (for now) and will ship right away.

I got a shipping notice for mine too, so these should be winging their way to most of our homes.

I look forward to hearing reports from folks once they arrive, about how they turned out.

It's been lovely to see how much support this project had, and how quickly they were able to fulfil it.

Look what came in the mail today.

Kudos to Ondrej (Butterfly Playing Cards) and to Kevin Reylek (Penguin Magic) for this initiative, and for their efforts in running this project to help raise awareness and support for humanitarian causes in Ukraine.

I was happy to support this, and the lovely deck is a bonus.

Nice quote. Will take centuries until the last one gets the message.

It may take the discovery of aliens to finally expand our tendency for tribalism to the global level.
