Poker-Pesha (Crime-poker)
a playing card game portrayed the top criminals in Israel of all times.
the cards portrayed the activity of them and some anecdotes. for example- the first one (Herzel Avitan) was a very violent robber, murderer and all around criminal that managed to escape a couple of times from jail (that's why I made him with a released handcuffs). the cat is because he got a special permission to raise a cat in jail as he was in isolation.
All anecdotes relates to the cards are well explained in a small booklet inside the cards package.

a four colored system. the black and gray are tough street colors, the red is of course the color of blood and the orange portrayed the Israeli jail uniforms.
every card has a unique design, so a specific card would be special and in the best case memorable.
