Reality-Bending Playing Cards

This Unusual Deck of Cards is Specifically Designed to Confuse Users

San Francisco-based artist Soleil Zumbrunn recently launched a Kickstarter campaign for a deck of playing cards that is specifically designed to confuse those who play with them. While one might assume that functionality should be the main concern when designing a deck of cards, but Zumbrunn's cards are actually intended to be difficult to decipher.

The card deck is called 'GLITCH 2.0' and it comes as a sequel to his original 'GLITCH' cards. The GLITCH 2.0 deck features a series of vibrant patterns and bold colors that are specifically designed to confuse those who are playing with them. The reality-bending cards are still functional, but they are intended to make you think twice before you play your hand.
