Nomad's Journey: Mongolian Inspired Poker Deck by Crafted Curious

Unread post by CraftedCurious »

Hello everyone,

My name is Jessie and I'm the designer behind Nomad's Journey, a new card that I illustrated myself inspired by Mongolian culture. After working on it for 150+ hours, I wanted to share it with the world. There's 15 unique designs (13 for each rank + 2 jokers) and each of the 54 cards features an illustration. I hope many of you will appreciate this cultural perspective weaved into the world of playing cards.

You can see all the card illustrations on https://www.craftedcurious.com/

Good Luck Jessie but I think you would have been better using your 15 designs to have 12 different courts, a fancy AoS and Jokers. Repeating the same design for Court cards is generally unpopular

Nice motives but the design does not work for me.
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.

So now we know where Lucas got the inspiration for one of Queen Amidala's hairdo!

Thanks Eric and thanks google lens - for despite being a Big Bang Theory fan, I was thinking Lucas who?

Really impressive work, Jessie. You can clearly see the amount of love and effort put into each card. The cultural inspiration is refreshing — it’s not often we see decks that dive this deep into Mongolian themes. Looking forward to seeing how the community responds to it!

I had to delete a few posts that simply did not belong here. Discussion by PM is fine, thunderdome as well, but not here.
