Conceived as the ultimate statement of elegance and recognized globally as a masterpiece of modern deck design, the Monarch series by theory11 redefines luxury playing card design. The outer packaging is a marvel in its own right, composed of ultra-durable, deeply embossed paper entirely enveloped in shimmering metallic foil accents and sealed with a regal custom stamp. Inside, the cards are illustrated by the supremely talented Curtis Jinkins, and have been built from the ground up to look like they belong in a palace, striking a perfect balance between a regal aesthetic and clean, contemporary craftsmanship. The card backs feature a detailed, symmetrical illustration of twin serpents intertwined around a sword and olive branches. To ensure instant recognition and flawless performance for magicians, poker players, and dealers alike, the face cards maintain a classic casino-style layout but are enriched with deep, striking colour palettes and rich metallic inks on the court cards.
