Chkns & Crowns Playing Cards

Bicycle Chkns & Crowns Playing Cards are a fully custom illustrated deck created by Filipino artist Creon Chkn, produced by RunIt Decks® and printed by the United States Playing Card Company.

The deck presents an original, wordless narrative set in the illustrated world of Yolkspire, told entirely through imagery. Each card contributes to the story: the court cards depict characters central to the conflict, while the numbered cards expand the setting with recurring figures, environments, and symbols. The aces represent the conclusion of the journey, completing the visual arc established across the deck.

All 56 cards feature bespoke artwork. The jokers introduce a pair of distinct characters, and the back design brings opposing forces together in a single mirrored composition.

The deck is housed in a double-sided Bicycle tuck box, allowing either side of the artwork to be displayed. Two additional cards form a reversible title plate, letting the deck be presented as Chkns & Crowns or Crowns & Chkns.

Printed on classic Bicycle stock with an air-cushion finish, this is a design-led deck intended for collectors, players, and anyone interested in narrative illustration within playing cards.
