GOTHICA NOCTURNAL EDITION 
The Nocturnal edition tuck box is a relic born of an ancient and weathered paper stock that whispers tales of forgotten epochs. This timeworn parchment, bearing the scars of ages past, cradles the inked vestiges of an unholy communion with the macabre. Each of its sides is gracefully embossed and adorned with a gothic collage, an amalgamation of menacing gargoyles and statues, wrought in the somber embrace of mausoleum shadows.

RED FOIL INTERIORS
From grotesque gargoyles to mournful statues, the sides of this box tell a tale of silent guardians and enigmatic presences lingering in the hallowed quietude of a mausoleum. Yet, the interior, as you pry open this relic's secrets, unfurls an unexpected contrast. A luminous revelation awaits within - a bright red foil that ignites the darkness within. At the heart of this crimson blaze, winged creatures take flight, a mesmerizing symphony of shadow and scarlet. With each undulation of the box's lid, these ethereal beings soar from the center, as if escaping the confines of stone and ink into the vibrant realm beyond.

This deck is a must-have for fans of gothic horror and collectors of luxurious playing cards, offering both a visual and tactile experience that is as mysterious as it is beautiful.
