Book Synopsis
Brush off your best Lady Whistledown impersonation and gather in the drawing room for some bon viveur and your favourite card games with Regency Playing Cards. Regency Playing Cards recreates the fashions and card games of the short, but influential, Regency Period of British history. The classic deck of cards was a relatively new phenomenon at the turn of the 19th 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).
