Army

Funded as a Kickstarter project on February 13, 2015 with $21,692 USD pledged from 589 backers, this was the first in a series of decks featuring the US military. This deck had a US Army theme and was designed by Jackson Robinson through Kings Wild Project through a collaboration with Nomades Collection (license holder for 'US Army'), with a total of 3,000 decks printed. The tuck was printed with 4 color process, inside and out, on premium vellum stock by the United States Playing Card Company. The cards were also printed by USPCC, using the same 4 color process on Bicycle Paper Stock with a Embossed finish, with each face card depicting a servicemen or servicewoman in a period correct uniform, helicopters as Aces (with exception of special tribute AoS) and tanks as Jokers. Unique to this deck was instead of using famous military heros, the court cards featured relatives of the Kickstarter backers, or backers themselves, who served in the US Army.
