    paper SANCTEES

    SANCTEES is a fast-paced card game that playfully introduces the saints of the Catholic Church. It is based on the Dobble / Spot It! concept — between any two cards, there is always exactly one saint in common, which players must find and name as quickly as possible. The game features 57 saints from the Catholic tradition.
    The saints are:
    *hand-drawn digital illustrations created by an illustrator (not AI)
    *designed according to traditional attributes
    *crafted to be as easily distinguishable as possible
    The game naturally helps players to:
    *recognize the saints
    *remember their names
    *spark interest in their stories
    SANCTEES comes in a compact cardboard box in a deep burgundy color, featuring a subtle texture and selective gold foil detailing on the ornaments.
    The packaging design feels elegant and gently references the aesthetic of sacred art.
