Please make welcome: The Banjo King! A new small box card game that packs two easy to learn and slightly addictive games perfect for two or four players. The Deluxe Edition contains: 1 copy of the game + 1 cotton 22x22 bandana/player-board + 2 engraved wood scrip tokens.

Play Moonshine! — a card collecting game inspired by the classic game Scopa — or Blessed, a trick-taking game inspired by the classic game Briscola. The deck comes with rules for both as well as reference cards for helpful tips.

The Banjo King is inspired by the 40-card Italian card decks and their rich history of regional illustrations. It was the Italians who brought the mandolin to Appalachia to give bluegrass music its distinctive sound… So why not an Appalachian deck?

Gameplay Overview
The Banjo King Deluxe Edition is everything in the standard edition — the beautifully illustrated 40-card deck with suits of Banjos, Baskets, Pickaxes, and Hatchets, rules for both Moonshine! and #Blessed, and reference cards — plus two premium physical upgrades that elevate the playing experience. The 22x22 cotton bandana doubles as a player-board and a genuinely lovely piece of Appalachian folk art you can wear, hang, or use at the table. The two engraved wood scrip tokens add a tactile, historical touch that fits the game's deep roots in regional craft tradition. Developed by Jenn Ellis and Keith Baker of Twogether Studios and illustrated by Appalachian artist Charles Ferguson-Avery, this is the version for players who want the complete experience — or for anyone looking for a truly distinctive, thoughtfully made gift.
