Bicycle Ophidian Playing Cards

Description

Bicycle Ophidian Playing Cards
"The hypnotic design of these slithering creatures is also a key feature of the card backs, which are bordered in a reptilian brown. These are inspired by the classic rider back design in that they have two strong circular shapes that ensures a mirrored/symmetrical look. Yet within this traditional pattern is a detailed and intricate design that is highly original, and is full of intertwined patterns that closer examination reveals to be snakes. The overall background pattern also brings to mind the scales one might find on our reptilian friends."

A deck with the hypnotic beauty of a snake by ShapeShifters Playing Cards, printed by the USPCC and distributed by Gambler's Warehouse.
Enigmatic, dangerous, elusive... its curves awaken a mixture of fear and curiosity provoking a hypnotic attraction. Since the devil himself used its form to tempt the first woman in paradise, the serpent has always been a recurring element of allegorical expression in any artistic manifestation.

The card back is the best example of the intricate work in this deck. Subtle forms are intertwined in complex and highly detailed designs.
The illustrations of large Aces mix organic and natural elements with coiled snakes.
The court cards are blatantly displayed and reach out to tell their own story. The original indexes in the four corners improve the player's experience and create an interesting aesthetic balance.
The Jokers are simply amazing, with the serpent wrapped around the design.
