Mystical Pirates Playing Cards

Sail beyond the known seas and into a strange underwater world with Mystical Pirates Playing Cards, a wildly illustrated fantasy deck filled with cursed captains, bizarre creatures and secrets lurking beneath the waves.

The story imagines that the unexplored depths of Earth’s oceans aren’t simply difficult to reach – their inhabitants have been deliberately keeping us away. For thousands of years, mystical creatures have used their powers to remain hidden from humans, building their own peculiar civilisation far below the surface.

Every court card introduces another character from this world. Meet Captain Redbones, discover how Perry “The Barracuda” Cooper earned his name, and encounter eccentric rulers including Crazy Elizabeth “the Moyeta”, Morton Dead Eyes, Charon and the Stone Age Princess.

Even the Aces contribute to the mythology, representing Steel & Bones, Heart of the Sea, Soul Collector and The Red Bones Curse.

The artwork has a wonderfully chaotic personality, combining pirates, sea monsters, skeletons and fantasy creatures with an energetic palette of turquoise, red, purple and cream. Rather than simply putting pirate imagery onto standard cards, Mystical Pirates creates an entire cast and story to explore across the deck.
