Celebrate the Year of the Dragon in Gold
Bicycle Gold Dragon Playing Cards celebrate strength, prosperity, and good fortune with a richly detailed deck created for the 2024 Year of the Dragon. Golden dragons, ornate eastern-inspired decoration, custom court cards, and a spectacular metallic tuck give this deck a premium appearance while retaining the familiar handling of Bicycle playing cards.
The custom two-way card back features two golden dragons set against a bronze-and-gold background. The dragons mirror one another within an ornate decorative design, giving the deck a bold look during dealing, fans, and spreads.
The traditional playing-card structure remains easy to use, but the court cards receive extensive customization. Kings, Queens, and Jacks are dressed in gold-toned kimono-inspired garments, while the custom Ace of Spades features detailed dragon artwork and the Jokers continue the theme with dramatic dragon illustrations.
The custom tuck box is one of the highlights of the deck. Brilliant metallic gold foil surrounds the dragons, Bicycle branding, laurel motifs, and ornamental details, creating a striking presentation for collectors and gift giving. The foil treatment is applied to the tuck box; the playing cards themselves feature printed artwork.
Printed in the USA by the United States Playing Card Company, Bicycle Gold Dragon uses premium Bicycle cardstock and Classic Air-Cushion Finish for smooth shuffling, spreading, dealing, and everyday game play.
