Published in 1974 by DuRite Enterprises, the Royal Flash deck is definitely a relic of its time. The suits in this drug-promoting deck are Marijuana, Peyote, Opium and Magic Mushrooms, and each jack, queen and king is partaking of the drug of their suit! To top it off, instead of a Joker, the deck has a Smoker.
Mint, sealed deck of "Royal Flash" cards, published and perhaps made by DuRite Enterprises, Inc. c.1974. The deck is a "new suits" deck, as the suits are plants used in the making of marijuana and other drugs. The cards are very well made, and the designs of the court cards are colorful and striking. The faces of the cards can be seen on internet. I have elected not to break the wrapper of this set.
The deck has 52 cards, plus 2 "Smoker" Jokers. The cards are wide, measuring 89mm x 63mm; there is no box.
As noted, the cards are mint and sealed.
