SKAT Spielkarten (Westermann)

Introducing the Skat playing card deck from the leading educational publisher Westermann from Germany.

Skat playing cards have 32 cards and a different format (slightly smaller and slimmer) than the usual standard 52 poker playing cards. Skat is the most popular card game in Germany and branded Skat decks are very common around here.

For this very special custom deck, each suit is represented by a specific science with the respective scientists: Hearts/Herz (Biology), Diamonds/Karo (Chemistry), Clubs/Kreuz (Mathematics) and Spades/Pik (Physics).

It was a fun chance to work in a different genre than usual and illustrate some of the greatest scientists of the past like Albert Einstein, Marie Curie or Robert Koch. Overall, this Skat playing card deck was an amazing exercise and I’m really satisfied with the end result.
