Bicycle Steampunk Bandits Limited Single Print Run of 2500 decks !!
It has been said: The house always wins. But in an alternate history of mechanical computation and pre- digital “cybercrime”, this was by no means the case. In the late 1800s, in the war-torn United States, an elite gang of clackers—Victorian-era machine hackers—devised a predictive card-counting algorithm called the Fortuna Script. These gambling bandits leveraged their technological advantage to beat the house with overwhelming success, sending politically powerful casino barons into ruin.
Bicycle’s Steampunk Bandits playing cards capture and commemorate this legend in beautifully designed renderings based on contemporary artists’ depictions of the bandits themselves, oft portrayed as skeletons.

Legend tells there was a gang of clackers (hackers of Victorian era machines) that devised a predictive card-counting algorithm that used to send many casinos into ruin.
Inspired by this legend, another group of gamblers, the team at Gambler's Warehouse, have launched a new and stunning deck of cards: Steampunk bandits.
Mixing skull, gears and many other artifacts, the designs of every card in this deck will captivate. A magnificent work in a dark and highly detailed deck that reveals some kind of disturbing atmosphere thanks to the mix of gold and silver tones and a black background.
