Bicycle Fireworks Playing Cards By Collectable Playing Cards

This is another deck designed by Juniardi Satyanagara, the designer behind MMS Starlight and Starlight Black Hole, and in fact, it does have a visual resemblance to those decks. This is the most colorful of the three decks as well, and like them, was created through a Kickstarter campaign. You can see the original artwork for these cards there.Like the other decks, the box for this is very striking, with the very colorful Spade design prominently displayed on the box front. The rest of the box is illustrated with numerous firework explosions, culminating in the full card back design on the back of the box. The box also has a colorful custom seal with the same spade design over fireworks.There are 56 cards in the deck, including two custom Jokers, similar in style to the ones found in those other decks, but with a black suit that reveals fireworks through it. The other two additional cards are a double-backer and an ad card for CollectablePlayingCards.com.Unlike the other two decks, this one has a white backdrop on the faces of the cards. Personally, I think Juniardi should have gone with a dark background so the firework designs would look better. The fireworks seen on the Jokers look more like a ball and a sea anemone than fireworks because of the white behind them. Similarly, all the pips have a fireworks explosion of radiant lines in them – going from white to blue for the black suits and white to orange for the red ones – that would have looked better if there was a dark background. However, the white backdrop does work will for the Ace of Spades. The court cards use the traditional design, and, like the Jokers, have a fireworks display visible in their solid colors. The artwork is dark enough against the white that it's quite legible, even in darker lighting conditions.The card backs have a full bleed night sky full of bright, colorful firework explosions. Since these do go all the way to the edges, this deck makes for some gorgeous fans.

These cards are a fun addition for game night. The card stock is a bit stiffer that that Bicyle Pluma and other decks I'm used to using, but that doesn't make it harder to shuffle. Fun deck!

these are really cute
