Please make welcome: The Banjo King! A new small box card game that packs two easy to learn and slightly addictive games perfect for two or four players. The deluxe edition contains: 1 copy of the game + 1 cotton 22x22 bandana/player-board + 2 engraved wood scrip tokens 

Play Moonshine! A card collecting game inspired by the classic game Scopa or Blessed, a trick taking game inspired by the classic game Briscola. The deck comes with rules for both as well as reference cards for helpful tips.  Each game can be played in about 20 min for players 10 + up. 

The Banjo King is inspired by the 40 card Italian card decks and their rich history of regional illustrations. It was the Italians who brought the mandolin to Appalachia to give bluegrass music its distinctive sound…  So why not an Appalachian deck? 

The Banjo King contains a 40 card deck with suits of Banjos, Baskets, Pickaxes, and Hatchets. It features the illustration of Appalachian artist Charles Ferguson-Avery who shares the tested and resilient spirit of Appalachian culture through whimsical illustration and symbology.  Graphic Design by Glen Nakasako, and games developed by Jenn Ellis & Keith Baker.
