A design firm is making a deck of playing cards with tech executives on them

Latest

If you’ve ever thought to yourself, “This gin rummy game is fun, but it’d be more fun if Snapchat CEO Evan Spiegel were involved,” today is your lucky day.

A new Kickstarter campaign by Red Bean Inc., a New York-based design company, is raising $3,500 to create “Startup Founder Playing Cards,” featuring tech luminaries Steve Jobs (who will be the king of spades), Arianna Huffington (queen of diamonds), Jack Dorsey (jack of hearts), and Evan Spiegel (jack of clubs). They promise to reveal the rest of the tech royalty once their Kickstarter is fully funded. $15 will get you a deck, which the company says will ship in August.

Silicon Valley isn’t the first money-flooded industry to be featured in card games. Several years ago, a group of artists created “52 Shades of Greed,” a series of playing cards featuring Wall Street executives such as Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein and JPMorgan Chase head Jamie Dimon.

The Startup Founder Playing Cards will pair well with the “Running Lean Startup Card Deck,” an instructional deck of cards that hit its Kickstarter funding goal last year. It’s unclear who the other characters on the startup cards will be, but there can be only one fitting Joker.
