Description

The King's Caste is a modified Tarot deck that was designed to answer this question: What if European Chess were a card game?
It is compatible with any Standard Card game, or Tarot Card game, yet there are subtle differences that allow for wider range of gameplay / design.

Take inspiration to make your own games with this deck, or play existing games designed for it, such as Tricky Chess (Tricky Chess [docs.google.com]). Take it with you everywhere, because you can play any standard card game, any tarot card game, as well as games designed for The King's Caste! Plus, you'd be hard-pressed to find a more compact way to transport two chess sets….

The King's Caste was devised by Daniel Wilcox, and is made available here with his blessing.

Daniel Wilcox: Design and card faces.
Nathan Morse: Card back and tuckbox.
