Forge Arts invites you to explore the thrilling world of German mythology and culture with the exquisite Märchen Playing Cards.
Named after the German word for “fairy tales”, this 100% original deck of cards brings to life the clever tales of children, evil kings, mysterious maidens, vengeful monsters, and more, through the incredible artwork of Nicolai Aaroe.
Two LIMITED EDITION versions are available (2,500 decks of each):
Märchen Hamelin Playing Cards come wrapped in a delightful cream colored tuck case symbolizing Germany’s majestic castles, towns and villages. Throughout all of the most legendary tales, these areas always serve as the center of civilization and culture, a safe haven from the terrors of the outside world. But, even here, dark entities may lie in the shadows, eager to lure you away from safety.
Märchen Schwarzwald Playing Cards are secured in a dark green tuck box embodying Germany’s vast enchanted forests which are home to devils, wolves, ghostly maidens, slumbering heroes, forgotten treasures and much more. Many famous tales warn never to venture too deep into these woods, particularly at night when the witches and demons dole out fates worse than a simple death.
Both versions of Märchen Playing Cards have embossing on the tuck case, interior printing and a numbered tuck seal. Each deck is also printed with metallic gold inks by LPCC on a quality stock featuring their incredible diamond finish.
And, just like the classic tales they embody, there are many other hidden secrets waiting to be discovered by astute playing card collectors.
