Brush off your best Lady Whistledown impersonation and gather in the drawing room for some bon viveur and your favorite card games with Regency Playing Cards.

The classic deck of cards was a relatively new phenomenon at the turn of the nineteenth century and card games became the Nintendo Switch of the day. New games spread through social circles and sometimes whole weekends were dedicated to the card game of the moment.

Regency Playing Cards celebrates the fashions and the games of the era, with two decks of 54 cards featuring beautifully illustrated fashion plates from the time, most notably Ackerman’s Repository—the must-have fashion magazine of the early nineteenth century. With an accompanying booklet explaining how to play six of the most popular Regency card games, game night just got a lot more fun (and sophisticated).
