I have fairly recently started collecting both puzzles and playing cards as an adult, and one brand I've been frequently coming across is theory11. I was first drawn in by their Lord of the Rings puzzle thanks to its really cool design and only later found out they also make some awesome playing cards. As a brand, theory11 focuses on creating unique art based on popular franchises. Everything they creat has a faithful design that feels both ornate and substantial.
Since I usually only like to buy things when they are on sale, I had yet to actually purchase any theory11 puzzles or playing cards for myself. Now that these collector's items are on sale for the first time for Prime Day, I finally decided to pull the trigger on the puzzle that first caught my eye. Below I've laid out everthing this sale currently has to offer.
theory11 Jigsaw Puzzle Deals
This brand has some of the coolest puzzles for adults you can find on Amazon right now. Although it isn't as well known as some of the more recognizable puzzle brands, like Ravensburger, each puzzle appears to offer a high level of quality. The image is one that is meant to be displayed once you're done, rather than put back into the box. These 1000-piece puzzles are essentially a really cool poster that you'll definitely want to frame immediately after placing that final piece.
The only options currently featured in the sale are from four fairly popular fandoms. The Lord of the Rings puzzle and Harry Potter puzzle options are my top picks here thanks to how book-like they feel.
theory11 Playing Card Deals
I've collected a few different sets of playing cards I've found at a few different shops and have found that the outside image is usually a lot cooler than the individual cards themselves. These theory11 playing cards do not have that problem at all. The outer sleeve of each of these decks all feature a design unique to the franchise its representing, and the cards within all match that design perfectly. The characters and little easter eggs from these popular stories are sprinkled throughout the cards.
Board Games Are on Sale for Prime Day Too
Although it isn't exactly the same thing as puzzles and playing cards, it's worth noting that Amazon is also having a pretty big board game sale for Prime Day 2025. If you have a love of puzzles and card games that transfers over to other tabletop ventures, I recommend you check out these deals as well.
