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.

This KickStarter deck was available in Gold or Silver, printed by Legends with Elite Finish

Introducing LEGENDS of FOUR KINGDOMS!

We wanted to try something completely different with our next project, and became smitten with the idea of creating a card game with complete custom artwork, packaged in a beautiful and innovative tuck case.

In the dark and forgotten times 4 kingdoms fought a pure and fiercely battle for the control of Wahland but its outcome and overall stability of the territory was guided by the influence strategists had on the various royal courts.

Players represent an outside power broker in a struggle to gain control of the 4 Kingdoms. They act in the background to gain as much control as possible of the key forces in the kingdoms and influence their battle decisions, sometimes sacrificing warriors for the greater good.

My interest in the art of Leonardo is lifelong. Realizing his work into modern playing card design has completely absorbed me this last year. Weaving elements of his paintings and drawings together and carefully integrating them has deepened my appreciation for Leonardo's sublime talent.

I'm sure you can see in every detail my passionate dedication to my work. Please note the handwork on each suit and value - every card is unique, a real labor of love.

To compliment the quality of the artwork, Leonardo will be printed by USPCC, the United States Playing Card Company.

I hope you enjoy my project. This is Leonardo!

The first deck we call Ascendant. Its design incorporates all the refinements that we have learned over the years and mixes those with the organic symmetry first seen in Tendril. The colors are bold, the borders are intense, the faces are dark and the level of detail has been increased.

The box is printed on a soft-touch matte black paper with incredible metallic green details and subtle gloss black foil tendrils. This deck was printed by USPCC in a limited run of less than 5,000 and will never be reprinted.

V2 has embossing on the deck box.

After the success of last years original release of the Melies, they decided to re invent them as the Melies Voyagers. They did this by re-printing the original space blue color way, along with a new color way were calling aurora red.

 

The many different worlds of magick are explored in the Grimoire Series, Pt. 1.

Illustrated by David Edgerly, artist behind Edgy Brothers' Dia de los Muertos campaign, these decks recall the times we spent as kids in the world of fantasy role-playing games, or RPG's, where the knowledge of powerful sorcerers was contained in ancient texts, or Grimoires. 

The Elemental Court Cards represent the different spirits and creatures of the four elemental forces - Earth, Wind, Air and Water.

Description and gallery photos taken from Theory11 website:

Premium, designer playing cards produced in collaboration with Steve Cohen, "The Millionaires’ Magician,” star of Chamber Magic®, a headline show at the prestigious Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York City.

The legendary Waldorf Astoria, a gathering place for royalty and the ultra-wealthy, demands only the finest for its upscale clientele. Black Edition Tycoons are enclosed within a thick, premium tuck case, shielded in gold foil. Ultra rich black ink gives the card backs an exceptionally crisp visual appeal compared to their red and blue predecessors.

Featuring court cards licensed from Fournier in Villareal de Álava, Spain, the Jacks, Queens, and Kings have skin tone faces - joined by an elegant, debonair Joker and Ace of Spades.

Introducing Serpentine, a new classically themed line of playing cards from LPCC. We discovered a 100+ year-old pinochle deck at The World of Playing Cards and fell in love with the classic back artwork and gorgeous faces. With help from collector and playing card lover Ken Lodge, we tracked down the original artwork. Our artists re-worked the back design and converted all the files so they were print-ready, as well as adding special touches like new pips and a custom Ace and Joker illustrated by Stuart Palm. At LPCC we are always experimenting with new production methods, printing, and packaging. We printed Serpentine at a new factory, on traditionally cut European card stock, with precise printing registration. Though the cards don\'t have the exact same buttery smooth edges as some of our previous decks, the cards faro extremely well, and our new Emerald Finish has a great snap and feel in-between our stiffer Diamond Finish and softer Classic Finish. The cards have more of a \"papery\"" feeling to them than Diamond Finish
