Akron on Deck III: Bicentennial Edition
Following the success of Akron on Deck (2020) and Akron on Deck II (2022), we wanted to celebrate the Akron Bicentennial in 2024-2025 with a third and final Akron playing card set that featured iconic landmarks and cultural icons from Akron’s past, present, and future. Akron on Deck III: Bicentennial Edition features 54 unique Akron icons and landmarks, with art by 54 different Akron artists, and gold metallic ink cards. As with each of our On Deck playing card sets, 40% of the proceeds from all card sales go to the featured artists or their select non-profits.
Since 2020, Akron on Deck has raised more than $100,000 for local artists and small businesses. We are so grateful for the ongoing support of this beloved collectible. Many have contacted us to try to replicate this product in their own communities, but none (thus far that we are aware of) are willing to put in the work we have. We think it shows in the quality of the product, the diversity of the artists, and the excellence of the conversations that card games with these decks inspire.
As one of our favorite customers famously put it, “It’s the most Akron you can fit into a small box.”
