Cartamundi vs. USPCC head-to-head? Monolith Playing Cards Deck Review

In this episode we take a look at a beautiful pair of decks, including one with some holographic innovations, from renowned designer Giovanni Meroni’s Thirdway Industries. Plus we announce the winner of the of Silk decks giveaway

Released in 2019. The white and black Monolith decks are a physical manifestation of Giovanni’s own deep affection for mythology and lore and his influences. We’ll get into those in more detail later. The two decks feature a lot of the same elements but also include some stark differences beyond just the superficial.

The white monolith deck comes packaged in a silver metallic tuck case printed on a white glossy card stock. The front of the box features an intricate arrangement of geographic shapes and architecturally inspired line work. All in all, it has a very diagram-like feel. The tucks feature no title or lettering on the front. Or indeed anywhere on the tuck for that matter other than traditional ad copy on the bottom of the boxes. The sides of the box feature some white bars with a ribbon-like coil design that reminds me of a snake or ivy--but could also be an allusion to the columns of greek or roman antiquity. The same shapes feature prominently on the back of the tuck, a representation of the back design within the box. A two-way design of mirrored circles flanking a central sun-shaped center design. Two diagonal lines forming 90 degree angles at either side of the circular sun center also give the impression of an all seeing eye.

The top of the box includes the four suit pips. There is no seal on the box. The bottom announces the deck as being printed by the united states playing card company which will soon see is in contrast the black monolith deck.
