Another one that I stumbled across - wouldn’t say they were Jasskarten interesting, but they are presented here for your perusal:

Nope in so many ways.

The interesting aspect of these (to me) is that they are hand painted over standard bikes (which honestly is more an oddity than a pro or con to me) - and hand painted versions exist (though are out of stock) - the work looks skilled, art interesting and looks to be a labor of love.

Penguin deck is a pass for me at the moment as it fails to grab me for a variety of reasons, but the zoo deck and piano deck are on the way, going to grab one of those handmades as well should the fates judge me worthy and the price be judged right.

The music deck is like an old deck I have seen: “Musikalisches Kartenspiel, Frankfurt am Main: Bernhard Dondorf, circa 1862”

The original instruction leaflet is included in French and German -the google translation of the French being
“place any ace in the middle of the piano stand, then a figure at the left end, a seven at the right end, fill in the gaps with three dot cards two, three, four, five, six, eight, nine and ten, your choice, no matter the color or number of dots, and it will result in two dance pieces, which can be played without any difficulty”


Piano deck would have pleased me more with something more functional like the 1862 decks courts - but I’m in for the pip cards

I kind of dismissed these initially, but I took a closer look and I actually really dig them. That Dondorf deck is super cool too.

These just arrived for me. I love how fun these are! Here are some of my favorites

New deck incoming:

I'm excited about these. I reached out to them on Instagram and they are expected to be available in their store in February–March.

I missed out on the original sola-chan deck and I've since seen it pop up for crazy prices. I'll have to see how this one ends up looking but I like the artwork so far!

The 7c,8c and 9c pictured above look like a bloody mess

Got my package! I couldn't resist getting a couple other items from the store

If you'd part with one of those three decks, please let me know
