Fulton's Chinatown: Game of Death

Commemorating Chinese culture in observance of the lunar new year, Fulton's Chinatown Playing Cards were inspired by the red envelope tradition and honor The Year of The Dragon, 2012. They're the luckiest deck you'll ever use.

This special Game of Death edition of Fulton's Chinatown Playing Cards honor Bruce Lee, a cultural icon and hero of martial arts. Even though his teachings went against tradition, he believed in himself and changed the art forever. His wisdom continues to inspire new generations of athletes, artists, entrepreneurs and professionals in all fields and forms. It is an honor to attribute such a great man with this deck of cards. 

As a child, Brad Fulton eagerly awaited the coming of Chinese New Year, a holiday where his Aunt Kareen and Uncle Dennis would present a beautiful bright red and gold envelope filled with lucky money. To commemorate those happy feelings and bring luck to you all, we present Fulton's Chinatown Playing Cards.

"Chinatown Los Angeles holds a special place historically and personally. It has always evoked and cultivated an aura of magic, mystery, and vibrant energy. With this deck I pay respect to a holiday and location associated with good luck and endless possibilities."

Hand illustrated by Dan Phillips, this new edition of Fulton's branded playing cards was printed with the same quality as the Fulton's Clip Joint Playing Cards and are packaged in the most beautiful box ever produced.

Limited to only 333 sets for Members. A set includes one red, which is now out of print, and one yellow deck.

As a professional photographer, Brad Fulton is known for his unique style and amazing ability to capture mystery within a single frame, a term he coined "single frame cinema". Since 2003, we've worked closely with Brad on various projects, which were always an exploration of our creative senses. Our professional collaborations are legendary. The iconic images captured for The Trilogy, the haunting images for the limited edition and sought after book Uzumaki (out of print), and the noirish visualization of Sybil.

Early 2011, Brad was hired on as Creative Director for Dan and Dave Industries and had an important influence on their redesign. Brad currently oversees the design of all new projects and ensures that our creative vision and stringent demand for perfection is upheld and brought to life. His breathtaking photography also graces the pages of our website as well as our entire shoppe catalogue.
