I got these for my friend who loves magic tricks and the Beowulf legends. The cards are expertly designed with a lot of references, and they feel great in the hands. 10/10 he absolutely loves them.
Sticky. Gorgeous and unique art, but I unfortunately did not enjoy handling this deck. It has an odd shiny finish that prevents the cards from shuffling well. They want to stick instead of sliding against each other, and the deck offgasses significantly. Unfortunately it was a disappointment and I gave it away. That said, if you collect primarily for visual appeal the Beowulf deck is certainly stunning.
This deck grew on me very quickly. At first glance I felt that this deck was dark and that might make it hard to see, but seeing these playing cards on my game table (red background) looked amazing! Fresh out of the box it is difficult to fan out the deck. The new cards feel glossy and that creates a little bit of friction when fanning out on the table or game mat, but see noticeable change after a few game nights! Really love the detail of the box and how it opens and the look of these cards front to back. Job well done!!!

Awesome and unique deck - very interesting design
You underestimate the level of detail and variation on this one until you're scouring both sides, but looks amazing large size. Can keep a 2-yr-old entertained for roughly 1 hour of destruction as well.
I’ve been buying and collecting Kings Wild Project Playing Cards since 2018 and just like all the other ones, the new Alphabet Block Playing Cards are amazing as always!
I like the smaller format, box and art are top notch. It’s a nice addition to my collection. Looking forward to getting my hands on some other colors.
This pocket-sized deck reminds me of the block my kid, and now my grandkids, used to play with. The tuck box is beautifully adorned with metallized embossed graphic details one should expect from Jackson Robinson. This is a must-have for any collector.
As a postal worker, I couldn't pass this deck up when I found it. I'm so glad that I didn't pass them up because they are amazing cards. Great quality, artwork, and a unique tuck case that is on theme with the deck. I look forward to owning more Kings Wild products in the future.
I saw a friend pull these out and knew I needed a set the moment I saw Tom Bombadil and Goldberry present and accounted for. The artist was careful to consider the lore and descriptions from the books and has carefully crafted beauty. Highly recommend for any Tolkien fan.
The best card ever i have. And I don't know why. You regret it if you only buy one. It feels better if you buy some other models because this is very good !!
We love these! They're so beautiful and the details are well-thought out. Kind of scared to use them though!
