Carta Persica

Iranian designs on playing cards

I play poker with friends once a month or so. Would be fun to play with cards made with Iranian designs like these I found on YouTube. Also visit www.CartaPersica.com

Superb Persian Cards

by DaryushRoshan (not verified) on Sun Mar 16, 2008 05:25 PM PDT

I bought 2 decks cards a week ago on www.CartaPersica.com. They came in 2 days! They are very good quality and have a very good design.

I do not know why I didn not find these cards ealier on? I think I am going to buy another few more decks for my friends for NowRuz.

Very nice

I thought the designs were well thought. I liked Seemorgh as the joker.

In stories Seemorgh would provide extra unexpected powers e.g. if you burnt a seemorgh feather you would summon her so it is appropriate for such a card.

Did you know that ...

Facts...

In my conversation with one of my well informed and highly knowledgeable American Anthropoligists, she told me that The Persians were the first inventors of 52 cards. But she did not mention whether or not the two jokers were also a persian creation or they were later on added on by the Europeans or others to make sure playing cards should be always considered a fun game to play and never too seriously even when the jokers are taken out right before the start f the game
