Our Most Intricate Deck Yet
SHIELDED IN GOLD AND BLACK FOIL
Designed in the United Kingdom by Joe White, Contraband Playing Cards were inspired by secret societies, conspiracy theories, and everything unknown.
Think Inside the Box
THE CONTRABAND INTERIOR FEATURES AN ELEGANT BLACK FOIL DESIGN.
The tuck case, and the cards within, are all made in the USA on FSC-certified, ECF paper. Secret imagery is hidden within the design: the lines of the inner flap construct (literally!) a face of mystery.
Designed From Scratch
COMPLETELY CUSTOM FACES AND BACKS
Every single playing card within the Contraband deck was designed from scratch - even the Aces, Jokers, and court cards display attention to detail never before achieved. Over a year in the making - and every minute of it is visible in the final design.
Contraband Book Lamp
THE STORY BEHIND THIS SPECIAL EDITION IS SO INCREDIBLE - WE NEEDED TWO BOOKS JUST TO TELL IT.
Two very special, authentic, 50-year old books sit on a shelf, one on top of the other. Each book has a secret beyond its original purpose. The top book is a functional lamp, handcrafted complete with a vintage Edison bulb and antique nickel power switch.
A Hidden Safe
HAND-CRAFTED WITH RECLAIMED BOOKS
As with everything, there's more than meets the eye. Slide the top book aside to reveal a secret wooden compartment hidden inside. Four decks of Contraband playing cards reside within, yours to use or replace with Contraband of your own.
Official Theory11 product. Curated by BlackFox52 for premium deck collectors, gifts, shelves, and game nights.
Why it feels different
The value is in the artwork, presentation, handling, and theme working together. It should feel considered before the seal is broken and satisfying once it reaches the table.
Open it if it will be played or enjoyed up close. Keep it sealed when it belongs in a display run.

My favourite
Beautifully made deck. Contraband Playing Cards design holds up across hundreds of shuffles, the print quality is sharp and the tuck case is solid. A welcome addition to the collection.
