M Pack playing cards explore the ways in which the design of the English / international card pack - which has been developing for over 5 centuries - may continue to develop over the next 5 centuries.
When cards were introduced to England in the 15th century, most known countries were headed by a Monarch. Today, this is no longer true. In the M Pack, the personnel of the four Suits have been replaced by their modern stereotypes:
- King: when a coup d'etat takes place in a country the Leader is usually drawn from the middle officer ranks of the Army
- Queen - As the age of Aquarius dawns, the World consults with renewed vigour the Seeresses who relate its futures through mystic means
- Jack - The Jack, as Jack-of-all-trades, is represented by the archetypal working man
The deck also features modern interpretations of the Joker, Ace and 10 cards.
These are functional, narrow-width cards that can be used to play a wide variety of card games. They also make a fine collection piece for any card enthusiast.
