SINS is a range of collectible playing card decks published by Thirdway Industries and designed by Giovanni Meroni. Inspired by the deadly sins, it follows a "Thesis, Antithesis, Synthesis" philosophy and stands out for its creator's signature geometric, symbolic art style.
The range is structured into two main thematic families:
- Mentis (the sins of the mind): Pride, Lust, Greed and Envy, set in a Garden of Eden "by day," before the fall. (Versions: White Mentis, Blue Mentis, Twisted Mentis.)
- Corpus (the sins of the body): Wrath, Lust, Gluttony and Sloth, set in an Eden "by night," after the fall. (Versions: Green Corpus, Red Corpus, Blood Corpus.)
Each version differs in its colourway and level of finish (more accessible "player" editions or premium limited editions with foil and embossing), while sharing the same 55-card structure. The jokers feature Adam and Eve, along with a Prometheus (the Snake) joker.
Key features:
- Artist playing cards: art style by Giovanni Meroni.
- Strong theme: the deadly sins, with symbolic storytelling.
- Several versions: Mentis and Corpus families, in different colourways and finishes.
