Bicycle Stronghold Sapphire Playing Cards

For centuries, the Knights Templar have been the great defenders of the Holy Grail, the chalice used in the Last Supper Jesus shared with his apostles. These Holy Warriors have defended with their lives the constant attempts to steal the sacred object full of mysterious magical properties.

But the order of the Templars has disappeared and with it has the secret of the Grail’s whereabouts. Four Great Kingdoms fight to get it and do not hesitate to turn historical quarrels into real bloodshed battles.

GAMBLER’S WAREHOUSE is proud to present the latest creation by SHAPE SHIFTERS: STRONGHOLD MMXX, a deck designed with care and a deep respect for traditional playing cards but with a modern and elegant touch.

The backs in red/blue, black and gold/copper shows the cross and the sword, symbols from the Templar imagery, in an elaborate symmetrical composition. That symbology is also present in both Jokers.

Oversized Aces are perfectly identifiable for game or magic and are fully customized with detailed patterns.

The traditional structure has also been kept in the numbered cards and in the poses of the Court characters. Kings, Queens and Knights with their armor are ready for the fight. The delicacy of the details creates stylized illustrations full of beauty.
