Timeless theme, contemporary design
The Latin phrase memento mori — 'remember you must die' — is not a dark message but a gentle reminder of presence and the depth of life. These playing cards bring that old wisdom into a modern, finely illustrated deck that you can hold, shuffle and use every day.
Detailed black-and-white illustrations
Each card carries a richly drawn composition. Classic memento mori motifs — skulls, hourglasses, lilies, candles — nod to the European engraving tradition while feeling fresh and graphic. The monochrome treatment lets the detail come forward without distraction, making the deck pleasant to read and easy on the eye.
Premium build and feel
A blend of PVC and paper gives the cards durability and a comfortable, slightly weighted touch. The pack is the standard playing card size, so you can use it for any familiar game. The deck includes the complete card set with jokers.
Care and storage
Keep the deck in its box when not in use, away from direct sunlight and damp. A clean, dry surface helps the cards glide smoothly during play. A good wipe with a soft, dry cloth is enough if a card gathers fingerprints.
