ALTENBURGER SPIELKARTENFABRIK, more recently known as SPIELKARTENFABRIK ALTENBURG, is now part of the CARTA MUNDI (of Belgium) empire. Most A.S./S.A. packs are now produced to special order so the majority of packs currently offered will never be available again once current stocks sell out.

See the front page of the standard regional patterns catalogue (click 'Regional' on the banner above) for more details about the growth of the CARTA MUNDI empire.
