Zombified Playing Cards

The Deck of the Dead Manipulates Each Suit Into Zombie Delights

— November 4, 2012 — Tech
Kickstarter Darren J. Gendron of Columbia, Maryland redesigned the common playing cards into a zombified Deck of the Dead.

The Deck of the Dead is also known as Postumo, meaning after death in Spanish. Gendron takes every suit in traditional cards and associates them with something the undead can weaponize. Aside from the offensive black cards of spades and clubs, the red cards symbolize that which the humans and zombies value most: hearts and brains. Since diamonds are the most valuable, the delicious craniums were assigned to this suit. Gendron hopes to advance his artistic cards into a complete set with dice and chips, also marked with pulsating brains, so users can enjoy a deadly game of poker as well.
Trend Themes
1. Zombified Playing Cards - The trend of redesigning traditional playing cards to incorporate a zombie theme, creating a unique and visually intriguing deck.

3. Artistic Card Sets - The trend of creating complete card sets that include additional components like dice and chips, all featuring visually appealing and thematically consistent designs.
Industry Implications
1. Game Design - The game design industry can explore the opportunity to create unique and innovative playing card designs, catering to niche markets and enthusiasts with specific themes like zombies.
2. Entertainment - The entertainment industry can incorporate the trend of zombified playing cards into movies, TV shows, or video games, creating more immersive and visually striking experiences for audiences.
3. Collectibles - The collectibles industry can tap into the trend of artistic card sets, producing limited edition and highly sought-after sets that attract collectors and fans of unique and visually appealing designs.
