The House of Cards

Filed in archive Toys on March 19, 2006

Beautiful designed card deck with endless solutions to interlock the cards. The deck is originally designed and made for kids but I can see my friends and me playing...


This 54-card Picture Deck designed by Charles and Ray Eames portrays images chosen to celebrate what the Eameses considered "good stuff-familiar and nostalgic objects from the animal, mineral, and vegetable kingdoms." The six slots on each card enable the player to interlock the cards to build structures of myriad shapes and sizes. With the help of the player's creativity and imagination, the House of Cards demonstrates the Eameses' conviction that both beauty and utility can be found in Everyday objects.
