King's Game playing cards is a custom poker size deck that pays tribute to the timeless game of chess: its figures, its moves and its players (the Kings). With a medieval inspiration, this deck focuses on the figures that are represented by each chess piece: king, queen, bishop, knight, rook and pawn. Black pieces are represented by Spades and Clubs, while the White pieces are represented by Hearts and Diamonds.
When the original King's Game decks were printed, the minimum print run for cards with foiled backs was 1,000, but only 500 tuck boxes were printed, leaving 500 extra sets of cards. A new tuck box with has now been printed with gold, silver, and white foil to house the extra cards, complete with a foil seal signifying these decks as the final "Apex" edition.
