A series of playing cards that capture the old-world splendor of the storied town of Hamelin (Hameln in German), the whimsical nature of the Pied Piper’s magic flute, and the darkest elements of this fabled tale. Told for over 800 years, the story of the Pied Piper has captured our imagination for centuries, and now we tell the story in this beautiful deck of cards.

Every card is hand-illustrated and custom from top to bottom. Every details matter as they told the story about the Pied Piper with the town of Hameln. The Courts shows the characters of the story.

At the center of this edition is a beautifully illustrated card back featuring the Market Church of St. Nicolai (Marktkirche St. Nicolai), a landmark deeply woven into the story’s history. According to the legend, it is likely that within these very walls the parents of Hamelin were gathered to celebrate Saint John and Paul’s Day, unaware of the sorrow unfolding outside as the Pied Piper led their children away.

The Market Church of St. Nicolai stands as more than just a backdrop for the story, and centerpiece for the town of Hamelin. The church itself is literally an heirloom, passing down the legacy of The Pied Piper from generation to generation.

The Heirloom Edition features an updated deep red tuck with two foils, embossing, and the Market Church prominently displayed on the back. The cards feature striking red hues and gold foil throughout including full bleed on the card back.
