Want to see this election cycle’s coolest deck of playing cards?

This year’s stranger-than-fiction US Presidential campaign is finally drawing to a close. If the messy path to election day 2016 hasn’t been scary enough for you, then let us suggest House of Cards.

As a tribute to the hit series about the extremes of power, corruption and lies in the White House, Little White Lies has created a special limited edition deck of playing cards for Sony Home Entertainment.

Forty-one Little White Lies artists, each in their own unique style, chronicle scenes and themes from the rise of Francis ​“Frank” Underwood, played with reptilian menace by Kevin Spacey, as he slithers his way up the corridors of power.

House of Cards’ seasons 1 – 4 are now available on DVD and Blu-Ray to voters everywhere. To get a pack of cards, we’re afraid you have to be a friend of Frank or enter the competition on Twitter with @SonyPicsAtHome. For now, here’s a visual taster…
