Loteria is an old Hispanic tradition, dating back as far as at least the 15th century, so it's about time that the game of chance received an update with 'Millennial Loteria'. The card deck and its (fittingly) accompanying Instagram account turn the images from the traditional game on their head, instead depicting concepts, products, and ideas likely to resonate with Millennials of Hispanic descent.
Millennial Loteria's card are all drawn in the style familiar to authentic loteria cards, with sharp lines, fuzzy pastels, and flat images. However, in place of cards like La Dama, La Sirena, and El Sol are new images like La Feminista, La Selfie, and El Global Warming. Further cards in the Millennial Loteria deck include El/La Genderfluid, El Nail Art, El VR, and La Non-GMO.
