Nazo Nazo Onsen Playing Cards

The Nazo Nazo series features custom hand illustrated artwork with hundreds of word-play puns and proverbs hidden throughout.

All with unique, hand-drawn, full-bleed art on pips and court cards and shimmering cold foiling on card faces. The Guest House deck features a tuck with holographic foiling and custom die cut.

The Guest House deck reveals a bustling Japanese inspired guest house filled with animated anthropomorphic guests. Printed by the Expert Playing Card Company. Join the journey in the onsen hot spring baths and relax in the naturally heated waters - at least relax for as long as you can, there’s a lot of activity going on in the floors above! Reveal the intricate and dynamic scene as all cards puzzle together.

First funded on Kickstarter, throughout the project the backers funding helped build a cattery shelter for rescued abandoned cats around Japan! In addition, with the help of ARK, a charity that helps rescue, care for, foster and rehouse abandoned and displaced animals across Japan, they saved 30 cats from a hoarder and private breeder that were kept in awful conditions.
