The House of the Rising Spade Faro2018

The House of the Rising Spade is a place built for your imagination: an esoteric realm full of mysteries built for cartomancers, cardists, magicians, collectors, dreamers, and card enthusiasts. Faro pays homage to Thomas Crehore (1820) and the Squared Faro deck by Russell and Morgan (1887-1900). In Faro, the number cards embrace a classic simplicity, presenting pips on a pristine white background without an index—a throwback to an era when players relied on the cards’ visual cues rather than top-left corner indices. The one-way Court Cards adhere to a medieval theme, replete with ornate attire and armors, staying true to the traditional world of jacks, queens, kings, and jokers. The Ace of Spades, however, received distinctive treatment representing Room 17 within the house. Faro variant has golden metallic ink on the back design as well as a few graphic elements of the card faces. Faro was printed by USPCC on their classic linen finish. The tuckboxes were produced by Oath Playing Cards featuring deep embossing and high quality hot-foil.
