The city of Coriolis is a jewel in the middle of the Waste Land. A beacon of civilisation, culture and good living. After all, there's a reason why we are frequently assaulted by wild Nomads, eager to ransake our treasures and wonders.
But the most beautiful cities have their dark sides, and Coriolis is not an exception. The symbol of this ambivalence is our famous card game. It is a visual jewel carrying the symbols of the powers that share the administration of the city, but also the materials that make it up; wood, steel, crystal.
By the way, did you know this fact? If in the high society, the card game it seen as a pleasant pastime -sometimes accompanied by impressive bets, in the lower districts it is sometimes used as a weapon. When some wield a pistol or a dagger, others have developed a deadly discipline of card throwing, using their fearsome edges as razors. So, what kind of player are you going to be? A peaceful king, a dame of wisdom or a mercenary jack?
The choice is yours!
**The Deck **
The "Victorian Playing Cards Steampunk Edition Deck" is a new design based on the previous successful Victorian campaign. It is composed of fifty two cards and two jokers. The project main idea is to replace the traditional court cards by symbols: scepter for the king, rose for the queen and pistol for the jack. Other cards stays as usual. The main colors of the indexes are gold for the red and dark brown for the blacks. The cards are mirrored so they look the same upside down with subtitle differences.
The deck is coming in two versions. The difference is not only in the color of the tuck - GOLD or SILVER, but also in the design for Aces and Jokers.
