That fantastic gentleman of steampunkery, Guy H., aka V&A Steamworks, has concocted a plan wherewith he shall mix up our plastic toys with our card playing and brass goggling.

His latest endeavor is a Kickstarter project to fund the creation of a terrifically designed full deck of Steampunk Lego playing cards. He’s packed it out with lots of fictional Victorian interest, like Jack the Ripper, a nunchuck-wielding Abraham Lincoln, and my favourite: an amusing choice between Edison and Tesla for the King of Clubs. Impressively, he’s even getting these printed by Bicycle. Evidently, however, the only way you’ll be able to purchase one is by supporting the project, so, gentlemen and ladies, prepare your pocketbooks.
