These deluxe playing cards bring the beauty of the great outdoors to your fingertips. From the exquisitely detailed card backs to the four suits represented by growing trees, flowing water, majestic mountains, and the expansive sky, every element in this illustrated deck depicts the wonder of nature. Housed in a responsibly sourced wooden box that is handsome enough to leave on the tabletop and light enough to take on-the-go, this set will delight outdoor enthusiasts, art lovers, and card players alike.
Unfortunately, these are the only 2 pics of the deck I've found... :(

Found a few more pics from a listing on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/Great-Outdoors-P ... 1452164959

These look cool but cannot find any mention of printer; would be a shame for a good design to be printed on cheap stock.

In that wooden box? It too light in my opinion.
Move on, nothing to see here.

I like what we've seen so far of the design and the wooden box is cool but the deck doesn't seem to come in an actual tuck which is less than ideal.

Disappointing that the pips are so standard-looking. How cool would it have been if each card was illustrated? (Or just a little something added to them, idk?)
Card collector seeking out modern decks with a focus on fine art and graphic design. Deck recs always welcome.

I agree; also not knowing the printer is the only other factor keeping me away... such a shame :(

The box is super nice looking and the price is great for that and custom cards, but still not enough yet to pull the trigger...

I picked this deck up! I really like it! The art is great! And it is printed in China, but it's not horrible!

I like this one too. Great art, great box, great price. Wish they were on better cardstock, but then again I wish other decks were so well thought out and presented.
