In 2011, we released the original Monarchs. They quickly became our best-selling deck, and they ushered in a new standard for luxury playing cards. Soon after, we dressed them in red. Monarchs are back in a new print edition, with a much more vivid, vibrant red box.

Red Monarchs are Made in the USA on FSC-certified paper derived from sustainable forests. Printed on Q1 quality stock with our signature Premium 909 Finish.

We spent time refining the world’s finest deck. It turned out better than we could ever imagine. We treated the back design with a vibrant, dramatic shade of red. For the tuck case, we worked alongside our print team to take an existing soft-touch paper and then darkened the tone while maintaining the vibrance of the red color.

The goal was to make playing cards fit for a king. The world’s finest. Regal. We feel one step closer to accomplishing that mission than ever before. We know you’re going to love them. In stock and available for immediate shipping.

The Legends 202 decks by Legends Playing Cards were a set of 3 varied color decks of red, blue and black. The tuck case featured 3D embossing and a custom die-cut tuck box with interior foil. The cards designed by Mark Stutzman utilized two tone printing. Symbolism was also referenced for each deck with gold and black for the sun and land, silver and blue for the moon and heavens, and red on white for the double crown encompassing upper and lower Egypt. There are only 3,202 decks printed per color of Legends 202 Egyptian Edition. The decks were also hinted at containing hidden secrets, similar to prior decks. While they did include a marking system for identifying cards from the card back, there were flaws in the clubs suit where the 8 and 9 have the same markings on the back (ribs of the hound). This error then caused the 10 to read as a 9, Jack as 10 and Queen as Jack. While the King of clubs returns to the proper markings, this is a total of 4 cards that provide the wrong information. A secret webpage was also made available with clues to this and other secrets: http://legendsplayingcards.com/pages/a6q6wz Legends #202 - Egyptian Edition 1.
