"Hürriyyət" historical playing cards

"Hürriyyət" - playing cards reflecting the culture and history of Azerbaijan. These cards were developed based on the history, literature, music and art of Azerbaijan. For many centuries, many states have been created in this geography, and each state has left its cultural heritage. The meaning of the word "Hürriyyət" means - "freedom", since the theme of the cards is built precisely on the "freedom-loving" people who lived in these geography.

The card consists of 38 playing cards. Playing cards consist of 4 standard categories and 2 additional ("Joker") cards. Figures, patterns, colors and other details of the cards were taken from national clothes, historical monuments and carpets. Thus, the names of suits on standard cards have been changed: "King" as "Şah", "Jack" as "Bəy", "Queen" as "Xanım", "Ace" as "Ustad" and "Joker" as "Müdrik" . We also decided to create a font containing the flavor of Azerbaijani culture for the names of the packages and for the letter parts, indicating the classes of card suits.

Aces represent the four elements of culture: architecture, poetry, statehood and national music.
