In a land brimming with Hollows, could that really be mere chance?
This official deck of DARK SOULS playing cards was illustrated and designed by Laura Verdin.

The card stock has a nice weight and the matte finish makes shuffling smooth right out of the box. Each face card is a different character from the game, so even losing a hand of poker feels like a win.
Laura Verdin's artwork captures the grim vibe of the game perfectly, and the card stock feels sturdy enough for actual play rather than just display. I've been using them for poker nights and the suit symbols are still easy to read even in dim lighting.
The illustrations on these are gorgeous, way better than I expected for an officially licensed deck. My only complaint is that the card stock is a little slick, so they slide around during shuffling. Still, they look fantastic on the table.
