King's Game Playing Cards 2 Deck Set EPCC

King's Game Playing Cards

Chess, a two-player strategy board game, originated in the Far east before the 6th century AD and was brought to Southern Europe by the 10th century. Popularized throughout Europe during the middle ages, chess soon established itself as the most widespread game around the world.

Chess has been widely known as the game of the Kings for centuries as it was a game enjoyed mostly and mainly by the royalty and nobility, reaching a new level when it was used to teach war strategy among the nobility during the Middle ages. That's how it came to be dubbed as the King's game

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.
