Measurements of Worlds Smallest Playing Cards

The deck measures a mere 5 mm high by 3.6 mm wide and consists of 52 standard playing cards plus two jokers, each intricately designed and fully recognisable as playing cards.

The cards were brought to life after a crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter which offered 100 backers a deck of these limited edition cards.

All 100 decks sold out in a couple of hours and the funding enabled manufacturing. The cards were printed on a lighter card stock than regular playing cards and then
cut by a laser to ensure the precise dimensions at such a small size. Although the full decks have all sold out, some individual cards have been sent off for display in museums around the world. Additionally, Rob now has plans to attempt the world record for the largest playing card!
