British Monarchy King Henry VIII Playing Cards Deck For Discount

This year marks King Henry VIII’s 524th birthday. This tuck case features the beautiful British Monarchy playing cards in a new tuck case featuring one of the most-talked about Kings in British history. This allows you to get the British Monarchy playing cards in your choice of tucks – The Tally-Ho branded and/or the King Henry VIII version.

The King Henry VIII tuck showcases a new portrait of Henry VIII, who was the husband of Anne Boleyn (one of our Joker cards) and the father of Queen Elizabeth I (the Queen of Diamonds in this deck). The tuck is intricately detailed with black, gold, white, and a flourish of red to bring everything together.

The inscription on the side of the tuck “Dieu et mon droit” meaning “God and my right” is the motto of the monarch in the United Kingdom. The tuck also features the raised textured finish to give the deck a luxurious feel.

The art is all original and historically accurate, based upon famous British Monarchy from centuries past. To stay in tradition with the elegant Tally-Ho brand, the card back is extravagantly detailed. USPCC approved the art for this deck, and we’ve been excited to bring it to you ever since. Each King and Queen has been meticulously researched and elaborately portrayed. The card back is ornate in its design, while keeping with the theme of the deck. The back illustrates the Crown, and alludes to the War of the Roses in England. The portraits themselves of the royalty cards are intricate, while keeping the cards playable.

Each royalty card is comprised of monarchy from the long and distinguished history of Britain. The Kings and Queens depicted in each royalty card exude elegance and sophistication. The British Monarchy chosen for this deck include:
