Retro Rocket Playing Cards

Launch into a wonderfully retro vision of the future with Bicycle Retro Rocket Playing Cards, a fully custom space-themed deck designed by Douglas Fuchs.

Inspired by the optimistic science-fiction artwork of the Space Age, Retro Rocket imagines a future filled with rockets, astronauts and sprawling cities on distant worlds. The card backs depict rockets blasting away from a Martian metropolis, while the courts have been completely transformed into astronauts and space explorers. Even the number cards receive custom suit pips, giving the entire deck a consistent retro-futuristic identity.

These aren’t just made for display. Printed by the United States Playing Card Company on Thin-Crushed Elite stock with an Air-Cushion “Magic” finish and traditional cut, they’re designed for smooth shuffling, flourishing and magic as well as conventional card games.

With a limited print run of only 2,500 decks, Retro Rocket is an excellent pick for Bicycle collectors and anyone who loves vintage science fiction, space exploration and mid-century visions of tomorrow.
