Bob Ross


Here’s a list of 6 curiouser decks for your bridge club to amuse and amaze.

1. Bob Ross quotes playing card deck

Bob Ross is best known as a pop culture icon and television painter. While there are different opinions about him, there’s just something tranquil about watching the man with a brush in his hand. For card players who want to explore the wonders of Bob Ross even further, there exists the Bob Ross Quotes playing card deck.

2. Pizza playing cards

These unique playing cards are inspired by one of the greatest food types of all-time: Pizza. Pizza is found almost everywhere, and there are a million (and one) different ways to enjoy it. These playing cards even come in an appropriate pizza box. Someone should tell Michael Xu about these. He really likes the combination of pizza and bridge!

3. Wonderful Wieners Playing Cards

The Wonderful Wieners card deck is the gift that dog lovers might never know they needed… At least until they’ve seen these. If you really want everyone at the bridge table to know how much you love a very, very specific dog breed, these are the cards for you.

4. Trumped Up Playing Cards

The word “trump” makes a regular appearance at bridge games, but not quite like this. This highly undesirable set of playing cards contains far too many images of Donald J Trump, hence the name of the deck. Other versions are available, including one that’s gold-leafed. Maybe it’s to bring out the colour of his hair.

The Golden Girls

5. The Golden Girls Playing Cards

The television show The Golden Girls could have little relevance for younger players who have never seen it. Rest assured, the show is still very well worth watching today – and obviously, recommended. But what about the show’s super-fans who never forget a thing (or have seen every single episode)? Well, there’s the Golden Girls playing card deck…

6. Jumbo (Jumbo) Playing Cards

Have you ever looked at a Bicycle Jumbo playing card deck and thought that it should be, well, bigger than it is? These jumbo playing cards are exactly that. While they might not fit well when you’ve got 13 cards in your hand, they’re great for other things: If you’ve ever wanted to build a house of cards big enough to climb into, here’s your chance.
