The set is titled 'Minim' and features white playing cards that are accented with simple, geometric shapes and a sleek typeface. These [minimalist playing cards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/minimalist-glassware) will appeal to graphic design enthusiasts and are also accented with thin lines and mathematical symbols. Instead of traditional suits, the cards each feature a contemporary symbol that is much more abstract. Priced at a $10 rate, this game card set is available on [Areaware's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/woven-structures) web shop and makes the traditional card game much more style focused and [Instagram](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/google-tarot-cards) worthy. Fans of visually simplistic design will fall in love with this artistic and affordable keepsake that also doubles as a winning gift. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.4/10 - Popularity: 26% | Activity: 9% | 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) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Minimalist Design:** Opportunity for businesses to explore minimalist design in various products and services. - **Graphic Design Enthusiasts:** Appealing to a niche market of graphic design enthusiasts, businesses can create products tailored to their preferences. - **Artistic Keepsakes:** Opportunity to develop artistic and affordable keepsakes that can be used as gifts or collectibles. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Graphic Design:** Upscale graphic design tools and services that cater to the needs of graphic design enthusiasts. - **Gift and Novelty:** Opportunity for the gift and novelty industry to offer artistic and visually appealing keepsakes. - **Luxury Playing Cards:** Developing a market for luxury playing cards with high-end minimalist design. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Minimalist Monolithic Chess Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/minimalist-chess-set.md) - [Minimalist Artful Chessboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tarek-elkassouf.md) - [Magician-Designed Playing Cards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mystery-playing-cards.md) - [Exclusive Card Game Decks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uno-x-kartell-deck.md) - [Structure Building Cards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/house-of-cards-building-kit.md) - [Fashion Collector Card Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uno-x-miu-miu.md) - [Indie Game Playing Cards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/balatro-playing-card-deck.md) - [Incredibly Elegant Chess Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elevated-chess-set.md) - [All-Black Tonal Minimal Collaborations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blvck-paris-and-uno.md)
