Gaelic Games Playing Cards.

The first attempt at getting funding on Kickstarter was unfortunately unsuccessful... :'( BUT!! I intend to relaunch at some point in the near future so please keep your eyes peeled on our social media for updates!

This is a completely unique deck of playing cards, designed by us, here in County Antrim.

We have designed every card from the ground up by taking the all-time top 13 Irish Counties in the sports of Hurling, Camogie, Football & Ladies Football and assigned them each to a card.

Spades = Hurling
Diamonds = Ladies Football
Clubs = Football
Hearts = Camogie

 

We've replicated the jerseys of each County and added various pieces of equipment used in each sport.

Every card features the jersey, the County name and sport in English, the County nickname with year of foundation, and the County name and sport in Irish, and we have added the Gaelic pitch markings as the backdrop to the cards.

The card backs showcase hurls, footballs, hurling/camogie helmets, sliotars and even football gloves. Printed in green and white, the backs reflect the colours of Ireland in pretty much all sports, not just Gaelic Games.

This deck is designed to be colourful and fun and maybe even educational, but equally as important, it has to be playable so the quality of the cards is vital.

We've also got add-ons of t-shirts, keyrings and even colouring books!!
