The strange tales from a Chinese studio playing cards by Room One is one of the most unique deck of cards as it features an animated whirling gateway design.

When laid in sequence, the cards reveal their true magic as they connect to form a mosaic puzzle depicting an otherworldly garden.

Designed to be a two way illustration these cards feature an alternative art treatment of characters shown in the number cards.

Paying homage to the vast ensemble of spirits, scholars, and deities that populate the strange tales. Each character is presented in a majestic full body shot, captured in a moment of serene contemplation.
