Twin brothers Dan and Dave Buck started Art of Play after becoming wildly successful producers of designer playing cards. Their interest in cards began at an early age when they practiced card tricks, and pioneered the art of cardistry.

Today, Art of Play is a well-known and respected name in the game industry for its highly collectible and limited-edition playing cards. With an average of twenty new designs released each year, their catalog constantly changes. All of their playing cards are suitable for games requiring a standard deck, and are printed with vegetable-based inks on premium FSC-certified paper in the United States.
