MMCardz were developed by Ramsay Wood as a new medium for promoting multiple messages: each card carries a different message on the back. This is the first, prototype pack, entitled INPOPA Anthology 2002, which features verses from twenty-four new poems spread over the backs of the cards. Future editions will include the sonnets of Shakespeare, as well as educational and marketing information. |

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.
