# Fantasy-Based Card Designs These Game of Thrones Card Deck Game Designs Will Please Any Queen By Ian Andrew Panganiban | Published 2013-06-05 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/card-deck-game References: [kotaku](http://kotaku.com/game-of-thrones-in-magic-the-gathering-looks-totally-p-510503934) & [jermtube.tumblr](http://jermtube.tumblr.com/post/50591495642/the-second-batch-sorry-again-for-spamming-but-i) It’s surprising to realize that the [HBO](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/game-of-thrones-x-pandora) series of Game of Thrones hasn’t been made into a card deck game yet. One of the main traits of the show is magic and strategy, so it only seems fitting that the series be re-imagined as a card game styled like Magic: The Gathering. The Game of Thrones card game illustrations are from Tumblr user [JermTube](http://jermtube.tumblr.com/tagged/game-of-thrones). The card deck showcases most the characters of the plot characters in the series. Each card has its own distinct ranking and skill, which is similar to the card deck game it’s based upon. All the cards have their own specific type and specialty. You can see a lot of thought and effort went to into constructing the cards’ details. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.1/10 - Popularity: 91% | Activity: 83% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Internet](https://www.trendhunter.com/internet) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Fantasy-based Card Games:** Opportunity to create innovative and immersive card games inspired by popular fantasy franchises like Game of Thrones. - **Magic and Strategy Games:** Incorporate elements of magic and strategic gameplay into card games, providing a unique and engaging experience for players. - **Re-imagining Popular TV Series:** Explore opportunities to transform popular TV series into interactive card game experiences, tapping into existing fan bases. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Gaming:** Developing fantasy-based card games that cater to fans of popular TV series like Game of Thrones. - **Entertainment:** Creating immersive and interactive experiences that merge strategy, magic, and popular TV series. - **Design:** Designing visually captivating card games that showcase the characters and storylines of popular TV series. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Witchy Series-Inspired Tarot Cards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/agatha-all-along-2.md) - [Indie Game Playing Cards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/balatro-playing-card-deck.md) - [Fantastical Edition Phones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/15-pro-game-of-thrones.md) - [Fantasy-Themed Beer Ranges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mikkeller.md) - [Animal-Themed Game Cards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magic-the-gathering-1.md) - [Customizable Trading Card Holders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trading-card-holders.md) - [Show-Inspired Coloring Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/house-of-the-dragon-1.md) - [Magician-Designed Playing Cards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mystery-playing-cards.md) - [Culture Play Card Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monopoly-deal-kpop-demon-hunters.md)
