The Dutch Card House Company introduces the incredible "Secret Tale Playing Cards." This new series of fully custom luxury playing cards revolves around stories about legends that have never been told before.
This first installment of "Secret Tale Playing Cards" is about King Arthur.
We are all familiar with the Arthurian Legend of the young son of King Uther Pendragon, raised and educated by the sorcerer Merlin, who ascends to the throne of Great Britain after drawing the magical sword, Excalibur, from a sacred stone. But what if there was another story-a secret story-that told even more about Arthur's fate?
That is the story the "Secret Tale King Arthur Deck" explores. The absolutely fascinating storyline and concept idea by Jannieke van Geet and beautiful narrative by Elizabeth Romeril. The deck showcases old folk art combined with antique colors from the Middle Ages making these decks of cards the perfect stage for the Secret Tale of King Arthur: 'Merlins Confession'. The artwork is detailed with a clean modern design on the back, faces, and tuck case.
The card back features the keyhole that enters the cabinet where Merlin has hidden his admission to keep it a secret. It is richly designed with details from this Secret Tale of King Arthur.
The custom courts are the main characters of this Arthurian story. Some already legendary and some hidden for centuries, from King Arthur, Lady of the Lake to Merlin, Lady Morgause, and Lancelot.
The Ace of Spades plays an important role in the narrative, showing a little peek at Camelot. The custom pips have been redesigned and some are arranged in non-traditional order.
The tuck box repeats the keyhole design element from the card backs, giving a sense of mystery and intrigue.
"Secret Tale King Arthur Playing Cards" are available in two amazing versions: "Secret Tale Black Knight Playing Cards" and "Secret Tale White Knight Playing Cards" (a collector's edition deck).
The "Secret Tale White Knight Playing" cards are limited to 500 decks and printed with a butter finish by WJPC. Three Jokers and a double backer are also included.
Grab your favorite or get both to complete your deck collection.
A beautifully designed set of decks suitable for every Arthurian legend-lover, playing card collector and card magician.
