Naipes Argentinos ‘La Partida’ y ‘Aparcero’ are exclusive, registered designs published by Obsequios Empresarios Argentinos as an attractive promotional gift for companies. Packs are therefore mostly found with advertising on the reverse, and are accompanied by a leaflet explaining the source of the designs by Juan Arancio. The court cards depict indigenous South American tribes which are integral to Argentinian national identity. Currently packs are printed by Gráfica 2001 but in the past other printers have been involved.

I am the founder of The World of Playing Cards (est. 1996), a website dedicated to the history, artistry and cultural significance of playing cards and tarot. Over the years I have researched various areas of the subject, acquired and traded collections and contributed as a committee member of the IPCS and graphics editor of The Playing-Card journal. Having lived in Chile, England, Wales, and now Spain, these experiences have shaped my work and passion for playing cards. Amongst my achievements is producing a limited-edition replica of a 17th-century English pack using woodblocks and stencils—a labour of love. Today, the World of Playing Cards is a global collaborative project, with my son Adam serving as the technical driving force behind its development. His innovative efforts have helped shape the site into the thriving hub it is today. You are warmly invited to become a contributor and share your enthusiasm.
