PRODUCT FEATURES

“Gag Order” Playing Cards is a cyberpunk anti-espionage deck set in the year 2261, and is inspired by the 2011-2014 NSA self-spying scandals. It shows what a dystopian future of mass-surveillance would look like, and the measures that people might take to protect their privacy.

Fully custom court cards, pips, back, and tuck case.
Info card with an explanation of the modified suits, and a backer thank-you.
Robo-Ray Bradbury and Mecha-George Orwell as the Jokers.
Dual-actuator hard drive as the card back.

The face and number cards in Gag Order feature motifs based on countering the different types of information surveillance:

Spades: GEOINT (geo-spatial intelligence), symbolized by a radar screen. The courts all have means to jam GEOINT gathering, specifically tessellated, heat-dispersing cloaks.
Hearts: SIGINT (signal intelligence), symbolized by an e-mail envelope medallion. The courts utilize data-mining tablets and portable hacking terminals to avoid detection.
Diamonds: ACOUSTINT (acoustic measurement and signals intelligence), symbolized by a speaker system. The courts carry jamming devices, specifically to reduce acoustic footprint.
Clubs: HUMINT (human intelligence), symbolized by a camera lens in the background of the cards. Court cards hold means of visual obfuscation, such as smoke grenades.
