Ocean Playing Cards

Ocean creatures organised by suit: fish, crustaceans and molluscs, mammals and the weird and wonderful!

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Make a splash at your next card game by swapping your standard card deck with the most spectacular animals from the world's oceans with this set of playing cards.

52 Card Deck - The interesting Ocean cards follow the same style as a standard card deck with 52 cards in 4 suits, meaning they can be used in the same way.

Fun, Colourful Illustrations: Focusing on illustrations of ocean mammals, fish, molluscs and more, plus two jokers, Holly Exley, an illustrator and watercolour enthusiast based in Derbyshire, has captured the life of the oceans so graciously.

Booklet Included: Discover fascinating facts about all 54 ocean mammals, fish, molluscs, and more in the accompanying booklet.

Easy Handling: The cards will not crack or bend when shuffled or flexed due to their 300gsm weight. Held within a box, these cards are perfect for taking anywhere on the go.

Gifts: With tremendous interest in the ocean, the playing cards make the perfect gift for any card or ocean enthusiast within all age ranges. The cards showcase familiar favourites like the clownfish and bottlenose dolphin to the formidable fangtooth and wonderfully weird Christmas tree worm. These colourful creatures will make waves in any game.

After playing your hand, discover fascinating facts about all 54 animals in the accompanying booklet.

Other Laurence King Publishing titles included in the Ocean series include I Saw It First! Ocean and Ocean Bingo.
