Kikkerland Lenticular Playing Cards – 52 Unique Cat Images & 2 Dog Jokers
This deck of Kikkerland playing cards features a full set of 52 lenticular cards, each showing a different cat image that shifts as you tilt the card. The deck also includes two jokers, but instead of cats, they’re playful dogs. Packed in a window box that lets you see the card backs, it’s a fun conversation starter for card players and cat lovers alike.
What makes these cards different from a standard deck?
Unlike ordinary playing cards, every card in this deck uses lenticular printing—a technology that creates the illusion of motion or depth when the card is angled. Each of the 52 cards has a distinct cat image, so you’ll never see the same feline twice. The two jokers break the pattern with dog images, adding a surprise element. The cards are poker-sized, making them easy to shuffle and handle.
Who is this deck for?
These cards are designed for anyone who enjoys unique collectibles or wants to add personality to their card games. They make a great gift for cat enthusiasts, magicians looking for novel props, or as a quirky addition to a game night. The lenticular effect also appeals to kids and adults who appreciate optical illusions.

Frequently asked questions
Do the cards change image completely or just shift?
Lenticular cards show a different image depending on the viewing angle. The 52 cat images are static per card—each card has its own cat, and the lenticular effect adds motion or depth to that single image. So you get 52 distinct cats, not 52 different effects per card.
Are these cards suitable for serious card games?
Yes, they are poker-sized and can be used for most card games. However, because the lenticular surface is slightly thicker than standard paper cards, they may feel different when shuffling. They are more collectible than a everyday deck.
What are the jokers like?
The two jokers feature dog images instead of cats, which is a playful twist. They also use lenticular technology, so the dog images appear to move or change as you tilt them.
Is the box reusable for storage?
The window box is designed for retail display but can be used to store the cards. It has a clear window on the front so you can see the top card.
