Quick answer

Choose the Duo Collection Set for a budget-friendly introduction to the theme, or the Half Brick Set if you want a substantial collection with a striking display presence.

What each set offers

The Hanging Gardens of Babylon playing cards come in two distinct sizes. The Duo Collection Set includes two decks, making it a compact and affordable way to own the artwork. The Half Brick Set contains six decks, giving you a larger quantity for gifting, trading, or building a more impressive shelf display.

Both sets share the same lush, myth-inspired design that pays tribute to the legendary gardens of King Nebuchadnezzar II. Your choice comes down to how many decks you actually need and how you plan to use them.

Display and gifting considerations

If you are buying for yourself and want a single deck for occasional play or as a desk accent, the Duo Collection Set covers that need without excess. The Half Brick Set, on the other hand, gives you enough decks to present as coordinated gifts to multiple friends or to keep a sealed backup while using one deck.

The Half Brick also creates a more substantial visual presence when stored together on a shelf. The Duo Set is more portable and easier to store in a small space.

Trade-offs at a glance

  • Duo Collection Set: Two decks at a lower price point. Great for trying the theme or for a single-user collection.
  • Half Brick Set: Six decks for a higher upfront cost but a lower per-deck price. Best for serious collectors or those who want a display brick. Check your shelf space before committing to the Half Brick.
  • Price difference: The Duo Set costs USD 32.66 (down from USD 46.00). The Half Brick costs USD 82.60 (down from USD 118.00). The Half Brick gives you three times the decks for about 2.5 times the price. If you are sure you want multiple decks, the Half Brick offers better value per deck.
