Empire is a beautifully custom illustrated piece of playing card art, painstakingly designed over 12 months and 2 continents by Kings & Crooks artist and founder, Lee McKenzie. Unavailable since 2013, it's our first and rarest creation and has become one of the most highly sought after decks in the modern playing card world.
Dare to break the Empire seal and you'll find they handle as magnificently as they look. A limited run produced at the finest quality by the U.S. Playing Card Co., they're treasured by collectors the world over. More than just a rare piece of playing card history, Empire is an obsessively beautiful deck that embodies our very mission at Kings & Crooks. To inspire you to live bolder, and make your own mark.
Some cards have a story. Empires have a legend. It's time to build your own.
