Me too! I’ve had three (I think) now, no regrets. It was also the whisky that got me into Scotch whisky. I also blame it for my soft spot for cask strength whisky.
I’m incredibly jealous. I haven’t even manage to visit any of the local distilleries, let alone any in Scotland itself.
And yet graphic designers on modern card games still utterly fails at this!
I, too, collect prettiful playing cards.
Not surprising that I have an Art Noveau deck of playing cards.
Well, in Hanabi, that’s deliberate…
I’m very much coveting those Alice cards.
The packages are just teasing us… show us some cards 
Please?
Are the Art Nouveau actual old cards?
No they are modern cards. They do use Mucha’s art though.
Aces and a Full House
I like the cardback because it mirrors! Only a couple feel a bit male-gazey.
One thing I do (and forget) when I travel is to find nice playing cards. These ones are from Norway. Still kicking myself that I didnt bought one from Edinburgh and Isle of Wight.
EDIT: Included the Zodiac (my profile pic) in the pictures, of course. 
Scotland really is worth a trip if you can find the time and budget (and a driver) for it. These days though everyone and their favorite brewery seems to think they can make whisky (and gin) but all the German ones I’ve tried were way in “meh–that’s supposed to be whisky?” territory… so I have no inclination to visit.
My first ever single malt was a Laphroiag followed by a Lagavulin and it put me off the drink for nearly a decade. In 2006 we visited friends who were spending a year in Lancaster and from there went on a roadtrip through Scotland (in late October, early November when it’s dark around 5pm) without any prebooked B&Bs (wouldn’t recommend trying this now) and I decided I had to figure out why so many of my friends liked whisky. The one that convinced me that there was something to it was the Cragganmore.
Ooft! No wonder. Jumping in at the deep end with those
That wasn’t quite by choice. My friends were already in the “it has to taste like you just bit into a burning peat bog or it is unworthy” phase and they felt like I should try the “good” stuff straight away. I still have a strong dislike for Laphroiag (a visit to the distillery confirms so do at least 50% of people who try it and they are proud of it) and I can barely tolerate the Lagavulin taste of burned tires but since then I’ve found several Islay whiskies I enjoy and my acnh island isn’t called “IslayDream” for nothing.
So that is the history of that one. Neat
I love the designs of all those cards.
Does every place have unique cards?
Do you have a German deck of cards? We have a special size with just 32 cards for our favorite German card game…
No. I should next time I go there!
We have these in Spain, and they are used a lot more than the traditional French deck (diamonds, spades, etc.)
I should not have put them up, now I am craving a game of Mus!!!
There are a lot of local card types - this website is a never-ending time-sink if you’re interested in such things: Countries - The World of Playing Cards
Vietnam has two-colour “chess cards” for example:
But lots of countries also have their own games with a standard deck, like the Middle-Eastern “Basra” or Bastra, and Greenland’s “Voormsi”, which uses 36 cards. (I think Sweden/Norway call it ‘Brus’).
It’s a giant rabbit hole, I warn you now 
Would you consider mah jongg tiles a variant of cards?
ooohhh we do have these in the Philippines, mostly the older generation (who are still heavily Hispanisized). We call them Cuajo. (kwa-ho)
I’ll be going on a wedding in 2021 in Spain - assuming it will continue. I’ll look around for those.
Well, it’s certainly isomorphic; you can get mah jong cards.
Can’t be worse than tv tropes 
The one at the bottom of this page the 32-card Skat deck is exactly the cards I used to play with. The change in the art is minimal. I am reasonably sure my Dad has several of these exact decks at home.
Right now we mostly have 52 card decks from bycicle because the “old” stuff seemed to unexciting. The oldest card deck I have is a 2 x 52 half sized card “Patience” deck which is probably at the root of my solo playing… I used to know a dozen different patterns for Patience games, these days I would be hard pressed to know one.
They’ll be everywhere. Try to get Heraclio Fournier version, they are beautiful.
