The Hanging Gardens of Babylon Playing Cards (Standard Edition)

The Hanging Gardens of Babylon Playing Cards (Standard Edition) from Room One draw inspiration from one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. This deck pays tribute to the legendary terraces of King Nebuchadnezzar II, imagined as a lush paradise rising from the desert. Designed in vibrant blues, radiant golds, and verdant greens, the artwork echoes the glazed bricks, ziggurats, and grandeur of ancient Mesopotamia.

The tuck box is a highlight of the release: embossed, hot-foiled, and die-cut with a window that reveals the 55th custom face card, the Gardens themselves. This treatment captures the spirit of the wonder while giving the deck a striking display presence.

Inside, every element is custom. Number cards feature non-traditional pip placement with subtle detailing, while court cards portray Babylonian nobility in rich two-way illustrations. The card backs use interlinking motifs and stair designs that reflect the intricate engineering of the Gardens.

Printed on premium stock, the Hanging Gardens deck balances historical inspiration with modern craftsmanship, making it a distinctive addition for collectors and players alike.
