Kay,

Are they going to email you with a URL to buy them? I imagine a lot of us would like to get a copy of those cards.


Best,

Julie

Subject: escape cards

I just emailed Bicycle playing Cards and the replied saying they should
be out in 3 weeks.

Bicycle Escape Playing Cards coming Soon
Bicycle has 8 new decks scheduled for this year so far. We are going to post all 8 decks, one a day for the next 8 business days. Today we are going to start with the Bicycle Escape Deck. This deck recreates the original map deck that was used during WWII. This version has the map drawn on the face cards and when put in order, the original WWII map can been seen. For more information about the original map and how it was hidden from their German captors, read the intriguing write up from USPCC below.
