Room One Cards and CKB Studios have teamed up for The Crowns, a playing card deck inspired by the enduring symbols of royalty, power, and legacy. The deck debuted at the 2026 Asia Card Convention (ACC) in Guangzhou, alongside an exclusive Gilded Edition available only to select convention attendees.
Each court card portrays a monarch or ruler from history, with their distinctive crowns drawing from the visual traditions of different cultures and empires.
Rather than focusing on royalty as an abstract concept, the deck explores the diverse traditions and iconography that have shaped civilizations throughout history.
The design uses a restrained palette of beige, rustic bronze, and muted traditional playing-card colours, giving the deck an aged, archival character reminiscent of historical artefacts and forgotten manuscripts. The tuck box features hot foil and embossing for an elevated finish.
The deck was printed by Room One on 270g Sleight Stock. Available on Room One Store for $16.
