JOKER AND THE THIEF "HAPPY & SAD" PLAYING CARDS 

Contemporary and fun, this deck picks up Joker and the Thief's original themes of duality and runs with it, taking a fresh and minimal approach.

A 100% custom design created by our in-house designer Pedro Oyarbide. 

The back design is comprised of a trippy tessellating sea of happy-sad faces. The court cards are modelled on classics and have been completely illustrated by hand to create the distressed vibe associated with our brand.

This rough around the edges approach continues onto the rest of the face cards and the Ace of Spades. 

The tuck box is manufactured to the same premium standards as the rest of the Joker and the Thief line, with premium matte paper and interior printing - made possible with letterpress processes.

Proudly made with Sustainably Sourced Paper in the U.S.A.

Printed on Premium Crushed Stock and Finish by the United States Playing Card Company.

About Joker and the Thief

Joker and the Thief was founded by James in 2015. He realised that the vast majority of playing cards on the market were mediocre. Playing cards generally featured underwhelming designs, often coupled with sub-par manufacturing quality.

So why not create a brand that strictly produced the best of the best? After reviewing hundreds of different products, very few examples stood out. So James took matters into his own hands to create something new. The vision was clear - each deck had to have a unique and compelling design, it had to be luxurious, and had to be produced at to the highest standards possible. 

From the beginning, James knew that the key to an incredible deck of playing cards is a compelling story coupled with world class artwork. We take a custom approach to all of our products, and everything is illustrated from scratch, by hand. From the Ace of Spades to the Court Cards, all the way down to the numbers. Everything is bespoke.
