The World's Finest

Playing Cards Fit for a King

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. Today, Red Monarchs are back again in a new, dark shade of red that did not before exist - We had to create it.

Monarch Red Edition Playing Cards are printed on FSC-certified paper derived from sustainable forests.
Printed on Q1 quality stock with our signature Premium 909 Finish.
"The feel is simply incredible."

New & Improved

Incredibly Rich Paper & Inks

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 to darken the tone while maintaining the vibrance of the red color.

Snakes twist around an evolution of sword and tree. Guiding the edges are the words "de duobus malis, minus est semper eligendum."
