Created by Paul Carpenter on his Encarded Website

The bold colors and sweeping lines of Priory may look modern, but the design is inspired by a small fresco motif found in a French church priory built in the 13th century.

The Premiere Edition features an exclusive, silver holo gilding on the cards. The tuck box is handcrafted by Paul Carpenter, with the design printed on a metallic quartz white cardstock, and then laser cut and assembled.* The intricately cut box is designed to provide glimpses of the gilded cards inside. The deck will be delivered in a protective clear sleeve from Carat Cases that is sealed with an Encarded holo seal. A certificate of authenticity will be included.

ONLY 72 OF THESE DECKS WILL BE CREATED AND 40 ARE AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC. There are no additional gilded decks in existence, all were used in this edition of the deck

The iconic Kings Wild Tigers that first debuted on Kickstarter in 2018 now make a grand return with the Kings Wild Tigers 2nd Edition featuring new colors and new designs, but that same perfectly executed vintage matchbox look and feel. This Gilded Edition features a blue, prism gilding on the decks.

"I have always been interested and also inspired by printing methods and aesthetics of the late 1800s & early 1900s, especially the wide range of matchbook ephemera produced all over the world. I find it so interesting that so much beauty and variety can be found in material that, at the time, was produced to be "throw away". The Kings Wild Tigers are an artistic study and creation, in the form of playing cards, that pays homage to the beautiful world of matchbook printing of the late 1800s & early 1900s." - Jackson Robinson, Designer, CEO
