A little more character in your hand.

Superseded, kept for history. The settled choice is the normal back with the suit possibilities arranged in a circle, ranks below; these back-art explorations stay as comparisons only and nothing here is a live proposal. Three printed back designs plus a dark-centre specimen, with the same suit and rank possibilities. The ornament stays around the information. Compare at the actual 90px and 45px card widths below.

Repeated ornament should feel like a deck. One card has narrowed possibilities; the others are still unknown.

D · Dark center was added on 2026-09-08 for the tester’s remark that “the card backs all have a very bright central option … maybe some players prefer a dark background.” It is a specimen, not a proposal: shipping it would be a per-player setting, and whether the possibility pips and ranks stay readable on a dark field is the deferred contrast question.

Our starting point: A · Midnight. The deep ink edge makes the cream information field feel intentional, and the restrained firework engraving belongs to this game. B is softer and more traditional; C is more graphic. At small sizes, broad shapes survive while the finest decorative lines drop away.

Visual comparison only. Possibility examples are authored specimens. The draw pile is unchanged. Suit artwork is reused from the table; credits.
