A deck of playing cards celebrating female athletes and featuring the world’s best.

How do we get more people familiar with the faces of sport that have long been over looked? Make them royalty. Flip the pay scale and make them the most valuable players in the game - the card game that is.

This deck of cards features some of the all time great female athletes as the the royal family. The Ace is one of tennis’ greatest servers, Serena Williams. Billie Jean King was the only choice to honor her name-sake, the king card. The queen of scoring bangers, major goal celly’s, inspiring a nation and fighting for equality, Megan Rapinoe is, accurately, the queen of hearts (and every other suit). And a jack of all athletic trades, Jackie Joyner Kersee is the face of the jack card.
