Ranger 3 has it correct. The backsides are blank; an off-white color.

The last in a wave of new products from All the King's Men is a deck of 18th Century replica playing cards. There are 55 cards in the deck, including two Jokers and instructions. The cards are 2.25 x 3.5 inches and come unlaminated, with no images on the back sides. They're in a cotton bag with a draw string for $10 USD.

Playing cards

You can see them on our AWI page (just scroll close to the bottom).

These cards can be used by re-enactors, but more importantly for our purposes, they add fantastic period feel to All the King's Men wargames. The game is driven by the turning of playing cards, with one side acting on reds and the other on blacks. Perfect for American Revolution battles using our 54mm miniatures.
