Irish Gaelic Playing Cards
A set of cards to help bring awareness to old and infrequently used languages, created by E Brewstein. Each card in the pack also functions as a mini language lesson, great for playing games and also learning about Irish heritage.
Although the Kickstarter campaign has ended this is an interesting project and worth a closer look. The Irish Gaelic playing cards are part of a set of "lost languages" to help bring awareness to old and infrequently used languages, created by E Brewstein. Each card in the pack also functions as a mini language lesson, great for playing games and also learning about Irish heritage. Another pack from the same set are for the Yiddish language.
