{"product_id":"cryptids-playing-cards-black-shuck","title":"Cryptids Playing Cards: Black Shuck","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe card backs are intricate, classic and illustrated entirely by hand - a traditional two-way monochrome pattern rich with Shuck iconography. Subtle modern details break the traditional rectangle: spades at the 3 and 9 o'clock positions, and cut triangles at 12 and 6 o'clock add visual interest and a contemporary flair that looks particularly spectacular in a fan or spread.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe court cards are unique, hand-drawn artefacts - derived from an ancient set of one-way faces found on a British deck of playing cards hundreds of years old, expertly redrawn into perfectly symmetrical two-way designs. Bold reds, yellows and blues on aged paper. Chunky antique pips, refined indices and warm vintage tones throughout. Hearts and diamonds feature a two-tone 50\/50 pip, a nod to famous decks of a bygone era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThe tuckbox is printed inside and out on a soft matte card stock, featuring bold woodblock print style artwork in a striking palette of black and red set against aged paper - evoking the broadsheets and pamphlets of the 16th century that first documented Shuck's terrifying appearance. A custom stamp sticker seal completes the presentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach ace features an enlarged central pip. The Ace of Spades depicts Black Shuck as he first appeared during that fateful storm at St. Mary's Church, Bungay, in 1577 - a moment of genuine British folklore history, hand-drawn and immortalised in playing card form. The two Jokers in this deck form a diptych - place them side by side to reveal a giant woodblock-style illustration of the beast himself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIllustrated by hand while embracing modern print technology. No AI, no shortcuts. Custom enough to be collectable, standard enough to be usable - in every hand, every fan, every shuffle.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"A.HAINES","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53848862261591,"sku":"124-HAIN-CRYP-BS","price":17.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1004\/4545\/4679\/files\/Cryptids-Playing-Cards-BLACK-SHUCK3.jpg?v=1782134428","url":"https:\/\/jpgamesltd.co.uk\/products\/cryptids-playing-cards-black-shuck","provider":"JP GAMES LTD","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
