Since the dawn of time, man has felt drawn to the sea and its infinite mysteries. We try to understand it in many ways: exploring, inventing stories, immersing ourselves in its crystal waters or simply through dreaming.

To celebrate this fascination with the ocean Jocu has created ONDA, a deck of cards depicting a fantastical marine mythology. Twelve colourful characters that incorporate the necessary characteristics to live and survive the azure depths, where life assumes surprising forms and colours and humans are permitted to see only a small part.

ONDA, the fourth project by Jocu Playing Cards, is a colourful, visual exploration of this world and its both real and imagined creatures.

ONDA tells a story of the ocean mixing reality and fantasy, through colourful, elegant and mysterious characters. 

Each King, Queen and Jack represents a virtue necessary to truly experience the depths of the sea: wisdom, tolerance, adaptability and much more. These characteristics, that alone can achieve little, become powerful when combined together, creating the essential balance with which to survive. 

Every figure contains three elements: a shell, a fish or sea plant, a sponge or a coral. 

Amongst jellyfish, octupus, seahorses and other wonderful creatures ONDA takes you to a world filled with mystery that we can explore with our imagination.  

ONDA by Jocu Playing Cards si FUNDED with Kickstarter

ONDA comes in two variants. The faces remain the same, but the back design and tuck boxes differ greatly.

Jocu (yo-koo) was born to create beautiful, luxury playing cards in Europe. Founded in Italy, the creators bring a love of folklore, mythology and magic into their designs and hope to put some real magic in the hands of performers and collectors.

Following the successes of Fillide, The Green Man and Hops & Barley, ONDA is the fourth project by Jocu.
