Scottish Thistle Playing Cards

Our Scottish Thistle Playing Cards feel like the kind of deck you bring out when you want the game to slow down and be enjoyed. Designed in Scotland, they’re perfect for a relaxed night of poker, a proper game of bridge, or simply shuffling and dealing at the kitchen table. The artwork takes inspiration from the medieval Book of Kells, with detailed patterns and flourishes that give each card a sense of history and craft without feeling overdone. The deck is 2.63 inches wide by 3.81 inches high, with 52 cards and four suits you’d expect, with a comfortable feel in the hand. Printed on high-quality, recyclable paper, the cards are sturdy enough for regular use while still being easy to shuffle. It’s a deck that feels thoughtful, well-made, and a little bit special.
