BICYCLE FULL MOON SPECIAL EDITION – LENTICULAR MOTION LENS

Original Bicycle Werewolf Full Moon Special Edition playing cards produced by Crooked Kings Cards and printed in the USA by the United States Playing Card Company (USPCC).

Released in 2015, this is the SPECIAL EDITION (SE) of the Crooked Kings Full Moon series.

The main feature of this edition is its spectacular LENTICULAR MOTION LENS tuck box.

When the deck is tilted and viewed from different angles, the front artwork changes to create the transformation of a man into a werewolf beneath the full moon.

LENTICULAR TUCK BOX

The defining feature of the Special Edition is the lenticular panel incorporated into the front of the tuck box.

As the box is moved from one viewing angle to another, the artwork changes and creates the illusion of a man transforming into a werewolf as the full moon rises.

This lenticular effect distinguishes the Special Edition from the regular Standard Edition.

ARTWORK

The Full Moon deck features a dark gothic aesthetic inspired by werewolf mythology, transformation and the full moon.

The custom card backs feature an arcane magical symbol as the central focal point, surrounded by dark ornamental scrollwork and smaller lunar elements.

The deck also features extensively customised faces, court cards and pips, making this much more than a standard Bicycle deck placed inside a special tuck box.
