The "Redemption Stories" will be as luxurious and high end as they can but without foil (which is the magic word for delays).

The Royal Silk deck which is our first “Redemption Story” is the Red version, which was meant to be part of the first year’s Patreon. As you know, we decided to reprint all Royal Silk decks, as we felt that there were things that should be improved, although many people don’t see how this deck can be improved... So, the first Redemption deck is the red sibling of the Purple edition which was offered as “Royal Silk Test print”. Unlike the purple edition, this one and all Redemption Stories are available exclusively to Patrons.

This tuck case will be the same for all the "Redemption decks". The only difference will be the roman numeral for each "volume". The deck inside will be visible through an opening in the back of the box. All decks will be numbered, with a fancy, signed extra card as a certificate of authenticity. I also added the year 2022 on the front because... what is a Lotrek edition without a date out of time on it to laugh with?

The decks are numbered on the outer tuck case and Patrons will have their number.

But, wait... What is a Lotrek deck without more changes... We decided to include in this month's Redemption Stories the 180 decks that were printed with the first Royal Silk print run and were intended as gifts for the first year's Patrons. These decks are printed in Gold and Silver foil and contained in a Black Tuck case, instead of two gold foils on the original Gold and Gold editions

The Gold/Silver will be limited to 1 per patron, everyone who placed an order for 2 extra redemption decks, will get:

• 2 Gold/Gold (in the grey box)
• 1 Gold/Silver (in the black box)

• 1 Gold/Gold
• 1 Gold/Silver

If for some reason you don't want the Gold/Silver edition and you prefer to have only Gold/Gold, let us know by sending a message.

So, each Patron from the first 2 years will be getting one "Redemption Stories" deck for free, with the option to add another one or two maximum, depending on the print run. There ended up being about 60 Gold/Silver (Black tuck case) and 50 Gold/Gold (Grey tuck case) decks available for secondary sale.

Are Patrons from Year 3 eligible to get these free decks?

No! You will have to wait for your turn to join the club of the Masters of Patience, at the end of year 3. Although it's most certain that you eventually will, right now your rewards are not delayed.

This deck was sold only in the Silk Classic box set.

Kickstarter campaign

With DAMASK we reached a technical and aesthetical limit in the number of different foils that can be used.

It was time for a more sophisticated challenge:

To go back to the basics and using just one foil -and a lot of imagination- to create a deck of spectacular luxury, an absolute must for every serious collector!

The result was "SILK" playing cards.

The play of light on a background made of incredibly thin lines that imitate the weaving in renaissance silk fabrics, creates an amazing 3D effect that no photo can capture.

Thanks to our workshop and expert plate makers, we're able to produce a deck with such a detail that will take your breath away!

• Limited edition to 350.
• No other color variations of the deck will ever be printed.
• Tuck case: Black and Gold foil with embossing on black stock.
• 100% custom courts inspired by renaissance engravings
• Gold foil on all cards, front and back
• Amazing handling
