Vanda ACES

The Vanda ACES collection stands at the intersection of poker tradition and modern design innovation. Founded by designer David Goldklang, Vanda began as a passion project to rethink what a premium playing card could be—introducing imaginative, minimalist decks to the collector market in the early 2010s. Building on this creative ethos, the ACES line was developed to deliver a truly professional-grade poker deck, rooted in casino utility and collector appeal.

Launched in the late 2010s, ACES cards were among the first independent decks to combine 100% premium plastic durability with cutting-edge four-color pip systems—ensuring lightning-fast suit recognition and vibrant table presence. The cards’ proprietary micro-textured finish draws on years of research into shuffling, fanning, and waterproof resilience, echoing the performance legacy of established casino brands yet with a bold, minimalist Vanda twist.

Every ACES deck features custom courts that remain clear, crisp, and functional, as well as unique tuck boxes designed with holographic foil and bold artwork, making each edition visually distinct and highly collectible. The early ACES releases quickly gained a following among both poker pros and card collectors, becoming recognized for their reliable handling, luxury feel, and modern aesthetic—garnering praise and “Deck of the Year” accolades from industry watchers.
