Really really nice courts, wish the backs were better. My dear friend if you come across these again at a bargain price, let me know =D

Great decks Jase! I find the Europe illustrations especially appealing.

Do you know if Fournier released these simultaneously in Spanish, or were they only for the English speaking/reading market?

I am very much anticipating that patience set

Do all the Fournier decks you showed here have multilingual booklets?

Well, I can't let Jase have all the fun now, can I?


Fournier Black Pack

Quote from WOPC:

Featuring thick-set black characters in traditional African dress. First edition, limited to 5000 copies. Manufactured by Heraclio Fournier S.A., Spain for Sasakti, London, c.1980. 33% proceeds to aid African children "for personal freedom & social justice". Illustrated by production designer Christopher Hobbs.

A modern Chinese knockoff deck of the Fournier No.12. Faithful but sloppy copying of most of the design except the Ace and the back.

Fournier No. 20:
A modern, standardized version of No. 12 Vitoria. Complete with two + extra joker, 8s, 9s and J,Q,K.





Ruedo Victoria
c. 1970s, a circular variant of the Fournier No.12. Pretty trippy.

These, and the Neoclasica deck, are very handsome cards, but those may be the nastiest and most menacing looking clubs I've ever seen in a Spanish deck I love it.
Interesting blue too. Very nice find Jase.

[Eoghann]

Wow they're fantastic! I love Vasca's take on the cups and XIX's clubs. Ouch!
I'd be lying if I weren't a bit jealous.

[volantangel]

Ive always wanted the neoclassica deck, but i always end up being very turned off by that back design, simply because the style is completely different, i would have preferred the design on the box a hundred times more !

[dazzleguts]

I have to agree with you there V. The Neoclasica back looks rather like wallpaper. I much prefer the Siglo

Kukuxumusu - Fournier (2006)

Kukuxumusu designed in 2006 the first adaptation of the classic Heraclio Fournier deck of playing cards. (see Vitoria No. 12 on first page)
Using Kukusumusu characters instead of the traditional courts, fun variations adorn the entire deck. However it still maintains the spirit of the original design with over 100 years of history.

Mingote No. 2 (Fournier 1968) MYR Ediciones
A follow up to the first deck, in this one, Antonio took a few more liberties in sneaking more of his humor with some doodles in the two and fours of each suit.

[Eoghann]

Mingote No.3 (Fournier 1969) ABC Newspaper Game Set
Unlike the previous editions, this particular deck is fully illustrated. Mingote collaborated with ABC newspaper from 1953 until his death in 2012.

Baraja "Aspañola" Calico Electrónico - Fournier 2009

Based off the Flash animated webseries, known for it's offbeat and often crude humor. The courts depict our "hero" Calico Electronico and other characters from the series such as Muzaman the simpleton superhero, a drug addled parody of Doraemon a Nobita, among others.
