Adding a little national pride to your poker night is simple with these Abraham Lincoln Playing Cards. The made in America card deck is coming to the delight of historians and film fans everywhere as 'Lincoln' is released in theaters.
The cards are distinctly created to have a vintage feel and rustic appearance with each card in the deck designed with a very strong patriotic theme. The kings and queens bear an "American-Made" slogan, while every other card in the deck has the more discreet "Manufactured in America" at the bottom. There's even an eerie sense of patriotic pride on the jokers as each one is dressed in traditional Civil War attire, but totes a skull for a face; perhaps just for fun or more sinister than they let on.
