Memento Mori - Chris Ramsay Decks

Chris Ramsay's Memento Mori Playing Cards are some of the most popular playing cards ever made. These custom decks are designed around the ancient Latin practice of reflecting on one's own mortality.

Like many historians, Chris believes there is an esoteric meaning hidden below the surface of playing cards. Just like there are four seasons, there are four suits in a deck of cards. Each suit has 13 cards adding up to 52 total cards, just like there are 52 weeks in a year.

Each deck features custom Aces, Court Cards and Jokers in the signature low-poly style. Printed by the United States Playing Card Company on premium crushed stock, these decks are ideal for magicians, cardists and collectors.

A variety of different Memento Mori editions are available, and new versions continue to be released.
