Addams Family Playing Cards by Pomegranate

 If you're a frequent visitor you know I like collecting playing cards and the Addams Family so when I saw this deck, I picked it up quicker than you could snap. And what better way to celebrate the first Wednesday post of October?

 

It comes in this gorgeous cardboard box. The top section slides off to reveal the cards and the quote "Are you unhappy, darling?" On the other side is the reply "Oh, yes, yes! Completely!"

 

This deck, as you can see, uses the original comic version of the family. Fester is the Joker while Granny is the Lil' Joker.

 

 The artwork on each card is the same for every suit. Cousin Itt is featured on the 4 with one or more Family members on the other numbers. They made some excellent choices with the art selection. I like what they did with the suit icons making them half black and half purple or red. It's hard to see in the photos but the cards have a lighter version of the pattern that is on the box and back of the cards.

 

 Naturally the court cards are the main Family members and they all fit their card so perfectly. Naturally, Lurch is on the 10. Unfortunately, Thing is nowhere to be found in the deck.
