Ocean Playing Cards (Les Grand Navigateurs Reprint)

Another find from that same Russian ebay seller. This one is called "Ocean" and it is actually a reprint of a Grimaud original from 1976 called "Les Grand Navigateurs", designed by Jean Delpech.

2 decks for sale for 20 USD per deck. Everything I have posted about from this seller is now actually sold...

I dream of a world where wars are fought only by having dance offs. I also dream that a Finnish playing card designer would exist. The former seems more likely to happend.

Money can't buy you happiness, but it can buy you a penguin. Have you ever met a sad person with a penguin?

Are lobsters mermaids to scorpions?

Unopened pair for 50 USD on Rubylane.

I don't remember seeing these on ebay so the price might not be that bad.
