Created as a pair of decks, Anubis and Osiris, these decks from artist Steve Minty was funded on KickStarter by 2,154 backers who pledged $93,907.  The Anubis deck featured a black tuck and card background, while the Osiris deck used a deep blue tone.  The tucks are with gold foil and embossed with a custom seal, while the cards also have gold foil on the back.  

436 backers pledged $14,760 on April 17, 2015 to fund this Kickstarter project consisting of 2 different tucks with artwork from Nam Tibon as produced by Lux Playing Cards.  Per update from producer, there were 524 decks requested of the King Henry VII tuck, although with overages (which always happens during printing) it was closer to 550, but only the 524 are planned to be released.

Empire is a limited edition, bold, commanding, obsessively intricate and empowering design with the finest finishing, to be printed by United States Playing Cards Company for unrivalled quality. It's a deck that represent what it means to stand up and fight for what's important to you, your dreams. To follow them no matter how challenging and strive to make your own dent in this world. 

• The sharp-eyed magicians and hustlers among you may notice that because both the back design and faces have that centre edging detail, having any reversed cards in the deck is no problem. They'll still be very difficult to identify at a glance, should you need to ;)
• The edge detail also holds an incredibly subtle one-way feature that a trained eye will have at their disposal.
• The mischievous Jokers can also be used as a creative revealing tool for magicians.
• Empire will also come with a utility card ('DB') useful for card magic or even as a cut card for poker, bridge or any other games.

These built-in features do not have any impact on the normal functionality of the deck for use in any kind of game play and merriment you desire.

The Empire deck also won 3 out of 18 categories from UnitedCardists 2013 Deck of the Year awards: Best Back Design, Best Pips, Best Deck for Fanning.

Inspired by plaid wearing, ax wielding, bearded men, The Lumberjacks feature a beautiful custom tuck with a monotone design. Each deck is hand numbered and limited to only 2,500 decks. Made in the U.S.A., printed by USPCC.

This year the Magna Carta turned 800 years old. Initially ambiguous in its future, this document has transformed over time into an icon that has rippled throughout world history with positive change. To me, the Magna Carta is one of the most inspiring examples of timelessness. Today the Magna Carta is the foundation of liberty and human rights in many parts of the world. This deck series was created to honor and celebrate this landmark occasion. 

This series is split up into two factions. Royals vs. Rebels. The Royals deck commands attention in rich black, representing the King and his empire. The sleek back design features the gorgeous crowned lion in which 3 heads represent the 3 lion crest of the Angevin Empire. As a way to pay tribute to this event, you can now recreate it with the world's first hexapytch deck series. Often times the sides of a tuck case are wasted away with filler text, being an underutilized area for artwork. Inspired by old book collections which featured beautiful murals across their spines, I've illustrated this famous event based on the iconic image of the signing. Utilizing 2 decks of the Royals as the center with a Rebels deck on either end creates the basic image, adding a King John deck (Gold or Silver) on the very ends completes the full image.

• Tuck cases are foiled with eye-catching gold and embossed on premium stock to provide a sense of depth to the touch.
• Inner tuck case is lined with an exact replica of the actual 1215 Magna Carta document in archive from The British Library.
• Cards are made with Aristocrat stock and coated with premium magic finish for increased longevity and performance.
• Card designs feature gorgeous metallic gold accents throughout that help unite the cards to their cases and to each other.
• Printed with the United States Playing Card Company

The Rose Deck will have a limited print run of only 1,000 decks through the United States Playing Card Company. Of those, 850 will be made available to Backers during the campaign.  The tuck case features a front gate in the foreground welcoming you to the Rose House, with an Anglo feel informing the lettering.  The deck back features design elements prevalent in Renaissance architecture and various royal palaces. In the center is the Rose window, with shading used throughout the design to add layers of depth, highlighted by gold accents.  For the Courts, we've used a painting-style approach, reflecting the popular trend of the aristocracy to immortalize itself in portraiture during the height of European monarchy.  We wanted each Court character's expression to tell a different story, whether it be Intrigue, seduction, or political scheming - all elements found in the parlors and reception rooms at a royal palace.

"I C O N S" Imperial edition

It's the first deck ever printed having both Gold and Silver hot stamped foil on the back of the cards.

"IMPERIAL" edition is a strictly limited production: Only 555 decks produced.

THE TUCK:

For such a special edition, Lotrek wanted a special tuck case. He started searching and experimenting with various materials until he decided on velvet: The most obvious and appropriate option, came last as it often happens...

The tuck box is made of velvet and has embossing and gold foil accents.

THE DECK:

The Back design - the gem of the deck- with Gold and Silver hot stamped foil on a purple background, is inspired by Byzantine mosaics. It features the two-headed eagle, the Imperial symbol.

KickStarter deck which was a 3 deck set consisting of White/Gold, Blue/Silver and a special Limited Edition (Black/Red).  There was apparently a flaw or error made in creating the Blue/Silver decks as they came out black instead of the blue described.
