Quick answer

For a complete collector's set, start with the Temple of Artemis at Ephesus Half Brick Set for its six decks and accessories. If you prefer variety or a lower entry point, the Duo Collection Set offers two different decks in one package.

Half Brick vs. Duo Collection: What's the difference?

The Half Brick Set from Room One Cards bundles six decks of the same design in a collector's box, often at a per-deck discount compared to buying individually. The Duo Collection Set pairs two different decks together, giving you variety without committing to a full half brick.

The Temple of Artemis at Ephesus Half Brick Set is priced at $86.14 (catalog comparison $118.00), while the Duo Collection Set is $32.20 (catalog comparison $46.00). The sticker set for the Hanging Gardens of Babylon costs just $5.04, making it a low-cost way to enjoy the artwork.

Which ancient wonder speaks to you?

The Temple of Artemis deck channels the majesty of marble columns and ancient sanctuary grandeur. The Hanging Gardens of Babylon deck evokes lush terraces and the mystique of a lost paradise. Both are part of the Eon series, so the quality and finish are consistent.

Your choice may come down to personal aesthetic: do you prefer the stately, architectural feel of Artemis or the romantic, garden-inspired theme of Babylon?

Your decision rules

  • Choose the Half Brick Set if...: You want a complete collection of one design, plan to gift or trade decks, or want the best per-deck price. The Temple of Artemis Half Brick Set gives you six decks plus a collector box.
  • Choose the Duo Collection Set if...: You want to sample the design without a big commitment, or you prefer having two different decks (e.g., one to use, one to keep sealed). The Temple of Artemis Duo Collection Set is a low-risk entry point.
  • Add a Sticker Set if...: You love the artwork and want to decorate your gear, or you're giving the deck as a gift and want a small extra. The Hanging Gardens of Babylon Sticker Set costs only $5.04. Stickers are a fun, low-cost add-on but don't affect your deck choice.
