“For cardistry the cards run a little long, but for playing and collecting this deck is something else. I really loved the design of every card and how the deck looks. Every card has different graphics on the front, and the back side design is something I’ve never seen before. The figure that stuck with me most is Cleopatra. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone who wants a deck with really nice design.”

A trading card game where history is in your hands.
Chapter 1 is the Spades Collection, the first of four suits we're reshuffling. Every King, Queen, Jack and Joker is a real ruler, warrior or jester from world history. Here's how it comes together.
The idea behind the deck
Stop Following Suit
For six hundred years, the same faces have held the court. David, Charlemagne, Caesar, Alexander. Four Kings from one continent, Queens from myth, Jacks from legend. The rest of the world never got dealt in.
We thought the court could use some competition. It's time to deal a new hand and step into a game where history gets to play again, this time with everyone at the table.
The court we're replacing
