These playing cards were created as personal work, in a limited run of 30 decks.

The word “Kindom” is meant to imply a kingdom of kin. The deck is divided into the four kingdoms: plant (clubs); animal (spades); bird (diamonds); and humanoid (hearts). The characters also reflect the natural hierarchical order in each suit through size and complexity. For the packaging, I created five different patterns based on each kingdom (and one of the jokers). My goal was to make simple, elegant, but also playful cards.

What’s Unique?
There are 54 unique faces. The characters of each suit are meant to inspire story and add a new experience to all kinds of card games.
