Kings & Crooks‘ Royales Playing Cards Kickstarter campaign has just reached the halfway point and the project is currently 642% funded with over 1300 backers! Incredible! The campaign has achieved its multiple stretched goals which means unlocking TWO new editions of Royales- the Players Limited Edition, the Players Gilded Limited Edition and the Marked Players Noir Edition.
The ROYALES ‘Players’ Limited Edition ($19) is a Kickstarter Exclusive, only available during the campaign and will never be available to buy again. The Limited Edition in Scarlet Rouge features a full-bleed beautiful casino-style back design in a deep, ultra-lux scarlet red with metallic gold ink detailing.
The custom illustrated faces and court cards have also been modified to reflect a more casino-esque style with larger indexes for even greater readability during play. The deck is packaged in a luxurious tuck box with added blind embossing in compliment to the already gorgeous gold and white foil embossed Royales tuck design, the matching rouge-red matte box will also be finished with a custom die-cut seal in black and metallic gold which wraps around all 3 sides of the tuck. WOW!
The Royales ‘Players’ GILDED Limited Edition ($30) is as luxurious as the Limited Edition but with a deluxe upgrade! The deck features gold gilded edges and a gold foil-pressed, black label band, each one will be numbered for collectors!
With Royales being a casino inspired deck, plus designer Lee Mckenzie’s background in card magic, he has been wanting to create the perfect complement to the entire collection, a fully-featured marked deck! The Marked Noir Royales Players ($19) is designed to work in many different situations and be readable from a variety of positions and handlings. According to Lee,
I’ve been refining the marking system for a long time, but I won’t reveal the secrets just yet. I can assure you it’s elegant, simple, and stealthy. Plus, it looks ridiculously sexy too 🙂
The deck features rich black and metallic gold ink! Looks incredibly sophisticated and beautiful! For the working magician, this looks like a versatile deck that will compliment your magic routines.
Don’t miss out on the Royales campaign on Kickstarter. Only 15 days remaining!
