NERDS PLAYING CARDS: The design for the Nerds Deck is bold, colorful, unique and totally bitchin'!
The
look is inspired by classic '80s movies that are lighthearted and fun,
and occasionally center on a Nerds versus Jocks storyline. Included are
lots of nods to some of our favorite '80s characters, outfits, and
props, plus references to the overall flashy vibe that made the 1980's
so grand! It's printed by Expert Playing Card Co., with their Taiwan
Printer, and with their classic finish.
The tuck box and back card for the Nerds Deck
feature a closeup design of a dress shirt and, of course, the pocket
protector that holds the tools for the quintessential "Nerd" of the
'80s. The "Embroidered Patch" Nerds logo is given a place of prominence
on the shirt pocket.
The courts for the Nerds Deck are extremely unique.
The Spades and Clubs represent the Nerds.
The
Hearts and Diamonds represent the Jocks. The Spade PIPs contain a
floppy disk within, and the Spade courts are representative of some
prototypical Nerds of the '80s.
The Club PIPs feature a D12 dice
graphic, and the Club courts are the gaming and sci-fi Nerds of the
deck. The Heart PIPs contain a football goal post, and the Heart courts
represent the ultimate sports Jocks of the '80s - football players and
cheerleaders! And finally, the Diamond PIPs feature a set of football
threads within, and the Club Courts are the partying and workout Jocks
of the '80s. Bring on the togas, headbands & mullets!
The
Jokers fit the Nerds versus Jocks theme as well. They both share a
similar and traditional Joker pose, but the Red Joker is the big and
popular football player, while the Black Joker is the small and
diminutive Nerd. All of the Face cards share a laser grid design as a
subtle background graphic.
The Nerds Deck is extremely useable for gameplay, and will start a conversation at any game night!
