Conquerors are the first Thirdway Industries decks made for Patreon. It’s available for preorder now and it will be shipped to everyone during July 2019.

Designed by Giovanni Meroni, Conquerors is a small project that includes two decks- Conquerors Audax, which is the unlimited edition with a lot of metallic inks; and Conquerors Victoria, a 777 decks limited edition, with a premium, triple foiled tuck box made by Gambler’s Warehouse.

You will notice that the Conquerors use a new, bold style made by thick lines – it’s more simple than Giovanni’s usual decks and he consider it relatively minimalist.

A lot of thought has gone into the Conquerors. The main theme of the deck is Victory.

Giovanni told Kardify,

Have a purpose is important for everyone – Conquerors are the ones who fight in order to achieve their personal Victory, whatever their goal is. The “War” described in Conquerors is a big metaphor: the courts are fighting to achieve their personal dreams, not for annihilate each other.

Also, each suit represents a different characteristic. For example:

  • Spades represent Strategy – they play carefully to have an advantage point. They’re patient and smart: they know that sometimes, the wait is wiser than act.
  • Hearts represent Bravery – they inspire their army with their heart full of courage. They’re reckless and willing to sacrifice themselves for Victory.
  • Clubs represent Brute Force – They don’t have a plan, they just trample everything and everyone stand between them and Victory.
  • Diamonds represent Power – Money, Influence, Resources – some people don’t need to fight in order to win. Some can just buy their Victory.

Finally, the Jokers are the most important characters of Conquerors. Giovanni explained,

The male joker is Mars Invictus, the invincible, brave God of War. He represents the battle itself, the strength to keep fighting to achieve the Victory. The first female joker is Victoria Alata, the Winged Victory herself. She’s the central character of Conquerors and the coveted prize for everyone. She’s completely merciless – for her, the only important thing is a win – how is not really important. The second female joker is Fortuna Velata, the Goddess of Luck. She’s frivolous and unpredictable, but her favor is precious. She usually protects the brave ones, so she’s not really blind.

Conquerors will be included in the May and June Patreon Sword of the Conqueror Package. The Sword of the Conqueror is a $30 subscription plan who grants a $50 package of Thirdway Industries items every month.

If you are not a Patron, Conquerors can also be preordered from Thirdway Industries website – it will have a strong discount until 30th June.
