Hip and Humble episodes

  • Episode 21 - A taste of the international
    This week we are continuing our talk on the history of playing cards and their trip throughout the ages! Playing cards have had a beautiful and very colored history. They have bounced from one culture to another, generally corresponding with advances in manufacturing. Each of the cultures that took up the mantle of distribution added their own flavor to playing cards and because of that they have truly become an internationally binding symbol. We hope you have fun listening! Stay hip and humble!
