UNGAR Playing Cards

UNGAR Playing cards 

Stu Ungar was a phenomenon — a man who played cards like he could see through time.
A prodigy who rose, fell, and rose again, leaving behind not just a legend, but a lesson.

His story is one of brilliance and self-destruction, of victory and vulnerability — the eternal duality of the gambler and the artist alike.

The UNGAR Playing Cards were created in his memory — a deck designed not for the table, but for the soul.

Each card is a quiet nod to Stu’s legacy: sharp, elegant, and unapologetically human.

Printed in collaboration with The Ungar Center for Hope, proceeds from every deck go toward supporting the Center’s mission — helping those struggling with trauma find a path back to themselves.

This isn’t just a deck.

It’s a mirror — a reminder that genius often walks hand-in-hand with darkness, and that even the brightest lights can burn out too soon.
