Hudson Deck Review - Theory11 Playing Cards

The Hudson deck was just recently released on http://www.Theory11.com after a pretty lengthy social marketing campaign that saw the tuck and jokers teased heavily across Instagram. The deck comes packaged in a matte mint green card stock tuck case that with a bronze foil ink. The design reminds me of the patina tones of bronze sculptures and is nicely embossed throughout.

The front of the box features the Hudson branding with the embellished H. Two corinthian style columns flank the design at either side, with a statue of a gryphon (a mythological cross between an eagle and a lion) in relief at the top of each pedestal. The bottom reads New York and behind the logo, drawn in perspective, is a representation of the factory home of the Hudson Playing Card Co., which of course, is the impetus behind this deck.

The Hudson’s are a mint green metallic ink on white card stock. Aside from the simplified coloring, the design is virtually unchanged from the tuck case.

The deck comes with two custom jokers. Identical. An image of a bearded man, in renaissance garb, sitting, legs crossed, on the ground. Spitting water like a fountain into the air and mouths of what look like two black ravens. The ace of spades is custom as well featuring a design that is highly reminiscent of the High Victorian deck. The monogram H is featured in the center, the top folded inward to fit within the spade pip. There’s a nice crown element at the top.

The rest of the cards are all bicycle standard with only the coloration being different. The red of the hearts and diamonds is more crimson and the courts see the inclusion of gold metallic ink.
Also included are the two typical theory11 ad cards.

As all theory11 decks in recent memory the cards are printed by the United States Playing Card Co. and as such handle magnificently.
