Badass: Spades and Grenades

Whether you're betting your motorcycle on a high-stakes game of Texas Hold 'Em with a barracks rec room full of pissed-off, cigar-chomping Navy SEALs, training a trio of rabid grizzly bears the intricate details of a hand of Hearts, or just running a lucratively-illegal three-card monte racket down at the local nursing home, you're going to need a deck of hardcore playing cards that appropriately demonstrate the fact that your human reproductive organs are forged from solid brass and steel.  

BADASS: Spades & Grenades is that deck.

BADASS: Spades & Grenades is a straight-up deck of regular playing cards depicting 52 of the biggest badasses in the history of the world. They can be used for everything from Blackjack to 52-Card Pickup, and are pretty much guaranteed to turn a waiting room game of Gin Rummy into a full-scale blood-drenched slugfest with the fate of the planet hanging in the balance. The decks were printed by the United States Playing Card Company, the same company that makes the decks for Vegas, so you can be sure that you aren’t getting a cheap deck of grocery-store cardboard.

Every card also features a unique piece of full-color art and a quote for each badass. The suits (we changed hearts into grenades, clubs into skulls, and diamonds into throwing stars) each represent a different part of the world, and we tried to make it so that Kings were real historical kings, Queens are real historical queens, and the 8s are all crazy people.

These decks have only been printed once and will never be run again, so I’m just going to sell them until they’re gone.
