Are the decks officially licensed by the universities?

The card backs feature the college-town artwork shown on the product page. The faces use a traditional playing-card structure so the deck remains easy to read and play with.

What makes each deck different?

Every design is tailored to a specific college town. The artwork may include recognizable architecture, stadium imagery, local streets, nightlife references, regional symbols, school-inspired colors, and fan traditions.

Will the entire design fit on the card?

Yes. The artwork is formatted for the standard 2.5″ × 3.5″ playing-card dimensions and positioned within the safe print area to reduce the risk of important details being trimmed during production.
