Celebrate History!

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. 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.

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.

Meet Royalty

The court cards were carefully selected based on actual people involved around the Magna Carta. The suits were used to help show the family factions within this time period. All of these cards were inspired by existing illustrations of the people that could be found from that time and translated into elegant designs.

Suiting Symbolism

Each suit carries symbolism based on the court cards that they hold. The Spade features a cross in the center representing the cross on King John's coat. The Club hides a lion face representing the Angevin Empire.

A sword skewers the Heart, adorning the fleur de lis for Louis VIII. Finally the Diamond proudly displays the crest symbol of Robert Fitzwalter, the leader of the baronial opposition.

The Jokers feature an authentic recreation of the face and back of King John's seal.

Tuck Cases

These tuck cases feature a realm of modern elegance that compliments the older illustrations in a beautiful juxtaposition. The designer packaging features a peek of each suit on the front and back of the case.
