The Egypt Deck is part of the World Tour Set series of playing cards.
This back design is understated and two-color, with appearances by
camels and the great pyramids. It is quite similar to card designs one
would see on caravan rides that transported the earliest Egyptologists
from Cairo to the Valley of the Kings. More about the World Tour Set...
The
World Tour Deck Set is a presentation "trunk" of five bespoke packs of
playing cards, each highlighting a different country and culture from
the turn of the last century. The World Tour Deck Set is housed in a
miniature travel trunk, replete with decals from the far-off places to
which the cards have traveled, to be in your collection.
The set
comes with all five decks of cards in the series, and when all five
decks are lined up, they create a map of the world highlighting the five
featured countries: France, Switzerland, Mongolia, China, and Egypt.
But the World Tour Deck Set is more than just a trunk of playing cards:
it's a story.
The Great Ezra, a turn-of-the-century magician,
traveled the globe and sent these decks back to you, each one with a
note. All the ephemera: handwritten notes written on railcar stationery,
coasters, tickets, and hotel paper... are included, to help immerse you
in the spirit of the turn of the century, and how Ezra might have
obtained each special deck. The decks themselves are gorgeous, with
iconography and hidden elements from the countries, culture, and time
from which they've come.
All printed by the Expert Playing Card
Company, the cards have a durable, smooth finish ideal for shift work,
gambling material, and sleights. Each deck has an extremely limited run
of 1500 decks, and no more World Tour Deck Sets will ever be printed.
Note: This product is a single deck of cards. See the World Tour Set for
the full collection.
