The Planets: Mercury
The Planets is a collection of decks representing the planets in our solar system. Sticking true to reality and working outward from the Sun, Mercury is the first deck in this marvellous series from Vanda Cards.
Mercury's court cards are fictional beings from the mind of designer Srdjan Vidakovic; creatures with stone-like heat-resistant skin to help them withstand Mercury's steep temperature gradient between the equator and each pole.
Nine months in the making, The Planets is the most luxurious series of decks Vanda Cards has created. The tuck box features embossed detailing with luxury, copper coloured accents, all printed by Clove St. Press. The cards themselves have been printed by the United States Playing Card Company on Bicycle Stock to keep things familiar and ensure the upmost quality.
