Description
This is for the friend who treats game night as another chance to set the scene.
ANŪT Cairo’s Khufu Playing Cards turn the classic deck into something more characterful, with two customized decks illustrated in the brand’s witty take on Ancient Egyptian figures and symbols. Both tuck into a canvas case printed with the goddess Nut in bright yellow, surrounded by line-drawn Egyptian motifs and the phrase “Lucky in love, lucky in cards.”
