Available in 3 colors, not sold as a set

By travelers for travelers:

The idea for this project was conceived by fellow globetrotters Ursus and Rune while traveling South East Asia. We love playing cards, but we couldn’t really find anything that was quite suited for our minimalist way of traveling. When you travel as much as we do, you don’t want to carry anything extra around. Every item makes a difference. We’re big fans of improvement, and decided to create the ultimate playing cards for travelers. The making of theAir Deckhas taken us through several countries, and we’ve met many wonderful people along the way. Meet our new travel companion, theAir Deck. The world’s first truly travel-optimized playing cards!

Our mission is to create the ultimate playing cards for travelers.

With theAir Deck, you can play everywhere anytime. It fits easily on small surfaces, such as a plane tray table.

Regular paper playing cards tear, stain, bend and break easily, but we’ve designed theAir Deckto be extremely durable.

Quality

While we wanted a compact and light deck, we didn’t want to compromise on quality. We went to several of the world’s manufacturers of premium casino cards and asked for the best materials they could provide. In the process of creating the ultimate travel deck, we tried out over 50 different high-end plastic materials. The materials were taken through scratch, bending and handling tests to identify the best candidate. Finally, we ended up with a premium ‘casino quality’ PVC that has all the properties we want.

TheAir Deckis designed to be brought anywhere. It takes up very little space and easily fits into your pocket.

TheAir Deckis incredibly resistant to tearing and bending.

The cards are 100% waterproof, so you can even use them in the pool, bathtub, in the rain, at the beach – anywhere!

The cards are washable. Liquids and dust rinse off easily.

TheAir Deckis a surefire conversation starter.

Handling

In the process of selecting the material, we sought advice from several playing card professionals, to help us find the optimal material and design. The end result is a deck that shuffles and handles like you expect professional cards to do. The cards are slightly textured on the back, while the front is plain. This provides excellent handling and a good grip.

Our goal was to make theAir Deckboth visually interesting and simple to read.

Design

We’ve worked hard to create a fitting minimalist design for theAir Deck. For us, it was key that the cards are uncluttered, symmetrical, and easy to read. We also wanted to create something fun and ‘out-of-the- ordinary.’ TheAir Deck’sunique design will no doubt act as a conversation starter on your travels. The deck consists of 52 playing cards + 2 Jokers and measures 87mm X 32mm. Despite the smaller footprint, we’ve retained all the features of standard decks. The length ensures that it handles much like a full-size deck, and the narrower width makes the deck fit nicely in the palm of your hands.
