Discover Lingo Playing Cards – learn, explore and play

Explore our collection of Lingo Playing Cards, a creative range of decks that combines traditional card games with languages, travel, culture, art and wellbeing.

Founded in 2014, Lingo began with a simple idea: put useful foreign-language phrases onto playing cards and make learning part of the game. The concept has since grown into a worldwide collection of beautifully designed decks covering languages, slang, travel, food, art and culture.

The popular Lingo language playing cards feature useful everyday words and phrases alongside translations and phonetic pronunciation guides, making them a fun companion for travelling, language learning or simply discovering something new.

Lingo has also collaborated with The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met) to create a remarkable series of playing cards showcasing works from the museum’s collection spanning thousands of years of art and culture. Themes include Icons, Portraits, Botanicals, Ancient Egypt, Asian Art, Arms & Armor and more.

Alongside language and art decks, the wider Lingo range explores subjects including mindfulness, wellbeing and lifestyle, turning the familiar format of a pack of playing cards into something educational, entertaining and highly giftable.

Whether you’re learning a language, preparing for a trip, exploring great works of art or looking for an unusual gift, Lingo Playing Cards make discovering something new part of the game.
