Watercolor City & State Playing Cards

Play local. Deal beautifully.

Fort52 began as a paper goods business before turning its love of illustration into something meant for the kitchen table. Inspired by a lifelong tradition of playing cards with family and gathering around a good game, Fort52 creates beautifully illustrated decks that celebrate the places, landmarks, traditions, and personality that make each city or state unique.

Each deck features a collection of original watercolor illustrations inspired by its theme, turning a familiar game of cards into a little tour of somewhere special. The Dallas deck, for example, highlights local favorites ranging from Deep Ellum and Bishop Arts District to the Dallas Zoo, State Fair, Reunion Tower, and hometown teams. With dozens of city, state, and specialty themes to choose from, these decks are equally at home in an office game drawer, a coffee table, or packed along for a weekend away. They make a particularly fun way to bring a sense of place to game night.
