Playing Cards. Reimagined.
Most playing cards are designed by committee and produced the same way they’ve been for over 150 years.
One hundred and fifty years. Crazy.
Table Two Studios looks to break the mold with our playing card debut, the Red Spade – Playing Card Deck #111. These cards were built from scratch to challenge what a playing card should be – and maybe what it could’ve been ages ago.
These cards look good enough to collect. But their real home is on the table. Family game nights. Bridge games. Poker parties. Blackjack tables. Spades tournaments. Magic shows. Road trips. Kitchen tables. Campfires. Wherever cards belong, we do. These cards are meant to be shuffled, dealt, spread, flipped, pitched and slammed victoriously on the table.
What Makes #111 Different
Reimagined Design
Fresh pip patterns and face cards that feel familiar enough to play with immediately, but distinct enough that you’ll notice the difference the moment the first card hits the table.
Casino-Grade Construction
310gsm black core paper – the same stock casinos use for durability and integrity. These cards won’t bend, mark, or fail after a few shuffles. Glossy linen finish provides smooth handling and professional snap.
Every Card Has Purpose
Each deck has 56 cards in total:
- 52 standard playing cards (Ace through King, all four suits)
- 2 Jokers
- 1 Double-backer card
- 1 Blank face card
Use the double-backer card for magic, or to protect the bottom of the deck from prying eyes at your next poker game.
Use the blank face card for magic, or to create your own custom game mechanic. Want a third joker? A fifth deuce? A 21 of hearts**? Grab a marker and go nuts! (Let us know what you use it for, though! – @tabletwostudios)
No filler cards. Your playing cards shouldn’t be the one to tell you a flush beats a straight.
