The '''[[ICANN 76 - Cancun Playing Card Deck]]''' is a special edition of the longstanding [[ICANNWiki]] [[Playing Cards|tradition]]. For [[ICANN 76]], ICANNWiki created a special deck of playing cards. The process went as follows: 52 members of the [[ICANN Community]] were interviewed to gain insights into their personalities, relationship to ICANN, and favorite fantasy, superhero, and fictional characters. Then, we sent recordings of the interviews to [https://www.mwpai.edu/about-prattmwp/faculty/sean-usyk Sean Usyk], who specializes in high-fantasy illustrations. Sean created the characters and designed the card back and box. Finally, we sent the images to [https://shuffledink.com/ Shuffled Ink] to make the decks of cards. See all [[Playing Cards|Playing Card Decks]].
