Punk playing cards

The "Urban Punk" card-deck's up on Kickstarter, starting at $10. I especially like the face-cards -- the gas-mask kills me.

We viewed both the physical cards and traditional designs as a “washed out” concrete wall where the bits of stencil-style graffiti imagery are the energizing and vibrant pop. This imagery also alters the traditional court designs into the punk subcultures. The motto is to break out from the norm, be different, be unique.

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

I think that for a deck of playing cards to be seriously punk it’d have to be missing the seven of spades or something.

Awaiting the Steam Punk variety of playing cards now.

  Wouldn’t they be hard to shuffle with all the gears glued to them?

Yeah cool and everything but as a reformed poker player I’d be a bit worried about how easy these cards would be to mark. Just saying.

  I don’t understand what you mean, all the backs will be the same.

    The backs are all the same, yes, but it’s a beautiful and complicated visual design. Which means it’s very easy to hide marks in. I love the look of these cards; don’t play with them for serious money.

      It’s okay. Punks don’t have any money.

I’m hearing the ghostly voice of Joe Strummer, singing ‘turning rebellion into money’. I’ve been getting that a lot recently.
