Kings of India Playing Cards illustrates the four greatest dynasties of India to share the extravagance and beauty of India’s story. That’s a big ask for a deck of cards, so here’s how we're going to do it:

MARVELOUS ILLUSTRATIONS

Every inch of this deck has been custom-illustrated from scratch by our Montreal-based design studio, Humble Raja. We’re the same detail-obsessed duo from Apartment 4 design, so you can rest assured that we've even taken the time to draw chest hair.

SOLID RESEARCH

Each court card reveals the bold personality of a legendary monarch of India, his queen and future successor. We have consulted books, artifacts, documentaries, architecture and sculptures to exemplify their contribution to India’s story visually through the details and design of each character.

PREMIUM QUALITY

Kings of India will be professionally printed by the United States Playing Card Company [USPCC], the same makers of the Bicycle® and Bee® brand, casino-grade playing cards. This means exceptional quality used by the pros, all made in the USA.

Good and Evil. Right and Wrong. Light and Darkness. Archangels. Inspired by mythology, crafted by hand, and ripped from the pages of legend, comes a new level of intricate design - the Archangel Playing Cards. Showcasing a battle of EPIC proportions. A juxtaposition of good and evil, the Archangels illustrate an epic battle of angels and demons. A close look at the back design reveals a tale of two opposing forces. The angels on the left, and the demons on the right - locked into an eternal stalemate. Six months of painstaking pen-and-ink illustration. The result? Simply epic. Archangels contain original artwork on the box, back design, Joker, and the Ace of Spades. Never before seen debossed ridges provide a unique feel that compliment the gold foil across the face and sides of the playing card box. Made in the USA at The United States Playing Card Company on top of the line quality papers, stock, and finish. Produced by theory11 and illustrated by Tom Lane in the United Kingdom. Eco Friendly. Archangels are printed on FSC-certified paper derived from sustainable forests, using vegetable-based inks and starch-based laminates.

Combining robust design elements with a fresh take on classical styling, Regal invites you to sit among the royal.  Designed by John Powell for Gamblers Warehouse.

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.

• Printed with the United States Playing Card Company
