Logger-Reno

Shades of green, yellow and black are the predominant colours in this pack created as a tribute to the modern men and women in the logging industry. The designer is a woman but her name is not revealed. There are two green suits (fir trees and trucks) and two black suits (pine trees and bulldozers). The Ace of Fir(s) is called “The Widow Maker”, while Choker Poker cards replace the Jokers. There is a pleasing unity to the designs in that the courts wear an identical colour and pattern of clothing within each suit. The double-ended design on the reverse depicts a logging scene in green. Further explanation is provided on the three extra cards. “MADE IN OREGON” is stamped on each side of the box. See the box►
