Shakespeare Insults Playing Cards

Some people bring snacks to card night. Others bring Shakespearean hostility. These Shakespeare Insults Playing Cards put a clever, cutting insult from the Bard on every card, so the literary sniping isn’t confined to one novelty joker. Prospero Art pairs the verbal abuse with full color illustrations. The appeal is pretty straightforward: you get playing cards with something entertaining to read while you’re holding them.

This is a good gift for the Shakespeare fan whose affection for the plays extends beyond the famous love speeches. It also suits the friend who treats a casual card game as an opportunity for theatrical trash talk. We like that the joke runs through the whole deck rather than stopping at the title. The insults are the reason to choose these cards, so give them to someone who actually enjoys the Bard’s particular brand of bad manners.
