About
PlayAbels playing cards were the fun winter hobby of a local Tassie mountain lover, Charlotte Blake. While expressing her love and appreciation for Tasmanian wilderness, she notes that she can never have the same deep connection to the land as those who have lived on it for the past 40,000 years. She hopes these cards allow you to share these special places with special people, wherever you play!
