Limited Edition Gold-on-Gold

The box is just as breathtaking as the cards within it. For the first time, Monarchs are printed with gold foil on gold paper, deeply embossed and - now more than ever - truly fit for a king.

 

Gold Foil Card Backs

Unlike ANY other Playing Cards

For six months, we’ve been keeping one secret closely guarded. In collaboration with USPC, we began testing an experimental new process, for the first time applying gold foil DIRECTLY on the back of playing cards.

The cards are then processed with Bicycle’s most durable finish - resulting in a card that spreads, fans, shuffles, and tears just like a normal playing card. Based on research at USPC, they’re 400% more durable and 30% more flexible than any other foil application. Scratch them, twist them, tear them, bend them - the foil doesn’t come off.

An unlimited SILVER edition printing of our critically-acclaimed Monarch Playing Cards, widely respected as "the world's finest playing cards."

In 2011, we released the original Monarchs, featuring gold foil, navy blue paper, and elegant, sleek, minimalistic design. A triumph of form and function, the designed was featured on Luxist, The Die Line, Hollywood motion pictures, and high fashion publications.

Today, we present a new, unlimited edition: Silver Monarchs. Dressed in white, and printed on FSC-certified paper with embossed, silver foil. The Silver Monarchs are fit for a king and as striking as ever.

The most limited deck ever released by Theory11, with less than 1 gross being sold. This deck is not an officially released print run but rather the result of a mistake in printing. During the implementation of metallic gold to the deck the execution of printing was not up to standard and the full run was trashed - with the exception of a gross. This deck should be considered an "error" deck rather than a full public release deck. For those looking for the Gold Monarchs featuring hot foil gold on the cards (rather than just metallic gold) please refer to the later edition here: https://www.Portfolio52.com/deck/3690/view

The very first version of Monarchs Blue having the upside down "High Quality" sign on the tuck bottom.

Monarch Eleven Madison Park Edition playing cards were a single production run with an original tax stamp (jagged) seal and then a replacement smooth seal when the small inventory of tax stamp seals became unavailable at the time. There is only a V1 edition since the tuck box design and playing cards are identical, but rather the small number of jagged tax stamp seals were used first and then the more abundant and available smooth seals were used second when the jagged tax stamp seals were temporarily unavailable . Monarch Eleven Madison Park Edition playing cards were a single-printing limited-edition product not ever sold on theory11.com. These were printed specifically for Eleven Madison Park, a high end restaurant in New York City that was ranked #1 in the world in 2017, and is consistently ranked in the top 10 in the world. This deck is a custom variation based on Silver Monarch playing cards. Eleven Madison Park Edition playing cards were a single production run with an original jagged seal and then a replacement smooth seal when the jagged seal inventory ran out of stock (see picture of T11 VP of Operations Comments).

Here we are with a brand-new deck, this time from the talented graphic designer Gregory Darroll. Gregory's fresh, fun illustration style permeates into the whole Bloodlines deck. The Bloodlines deck comes in two different versions: Ruby Red and Emerald Green.

The images are cleverly broken down into multi-faceted geometrical grits. Each shape is filled in with a pop of basic colour, encircled with a thick outline, giving the whole design a look of stained glass of a cathedral. However, this deck is far from being as motionless as s glass panel. In fact, all of the small details come together in a dynamic design that is sure to attract many looks.

The box will be printed with Premium Cotton Paper and the box will be Embossed on all sides. surprises with a stained-glass looking surface with many details, broken down into 4 sections. Each of them consists of a geometric rendition of each of the suits, separately. The middle bears the name “Bloodlines” in a fun font, matching the rest of the image. The name sits in between two decorative panels with an art-deco looking feather pattern.

Gregory has chosen a refreshing combination of hues of green and yellow lined with a dark green line for the green deck and warmer tones of red and yellow with a pop of aquamarine with burgundy lining for the red deck. Upon opening the box, you will discover a lovely “Good Luck” message on the inner flap and two decorative skulls on the smaller flaps.
