🪐 Since the late 19th century in the US, mob bosses have only allowed the worthy to enter their inner circle. Now with these USPCC-printed cards, you hold the fate of the bosses and their families as it will be your playing card skills that will decide if a family will rise in dominance, or get pinched.

🪐 Show who’s calling the shots with the MADE Gold Edition and MADE Silver Edition decks. These exquisite tuck boxes are foiled stamped and feature stunning hand-illustrated designs of the power and wealth that is all Mafia.

🪐 Gold Edition Tuck Box: The striking contrast of the gold foil stamped onto the black background shows this deck’s crew is living large. The intricate details of the stylized gold design include suit icons as well as artwork indicative of the prohibition era.

🪐 Silver Edition Tuck Box: This elegant tuck box features a compelling design of an ominous mob boss housed within a spade stamped in silver foil, encased by a white background symbolic of the secret society that largely works unnoticed.

🪐 No expense has been spared with these stylish decks. After all, if you’re going to wreak havoc, look good doing it! Each deck features a pinstripe pattern calling back the era of lavish style and dangerously good looks.

🪐 We had to do the family justice by creating cards that capture the lure of their underground world. The face cards are beautifully hand-illustrated with special attention given to each design.

🪐 The card backs of the Gold Edition feature an art deco design, reminiscent of a 1920’s club ceiling. The geometric design of the Silver Edition card backs enclose a central pillar that is symbolic of both an impressive city skyscraper and the architecture of a family on the rise.
