Psychonauts Playing Cards by Joker and the Thief

Psychonauts Playing Cards explore reality beyond the perception of the five senses! Take a journey into the depths of your mind.

Vibrant and bursting with colour, Psychonauts is a nostalgic tribute to 1960s psychedelia and new age spiritualism. The time when Eastern gurus, meditation, and yoga first seeped into Western mainstream consciousness. A time of peace, love and flower power! Featuring 100% custom art work, hand illustrated in-house.

The court cards are where we get to flex our storytelling prowess. Pay close attention to the symbolism and references that the Psychonaut royalty have weaved into their design! Witness the mystical set of royalty cards – from each of the Jacks consuming psychedelic substances to the Kings featuring the likenesses of legends such as Terrence McKenna, Osho and Alan Watts.

The tuck box features a specific art style called Horror Vacui – or Kenophobia. Which essentially translates to the fear of empty space. The tuck box is laden with detail, with little to no negative space. This masterpiece is printed on premium paper, utilizing foil, interior printing and embossing.

To cap Psychonauts’ tuck box, we’ve selected a custom shaped seal, with a simple, bold graphic style to balance the extreme detail of the tuckbox. This seal mimics the shape of an acid tab.
