The theme is Esquire. I wanted to make a deck that you might find at a cigar lounge or mens club from the early 20th century. A deck for a gentlemen who spent most of their time seriously playing cards. After thinking a while about this I decided it would be interesting to use the idea of an esquire for the ultimate gentlemens deck. Historically the word was used to describe someone who assisted a knight. In the past century it was used after someone's name to denote his title as a gentleman or as someone who practiced law. So I thought it might be interesting to take this all into account and develop a deck that might have been used historically by the upper class.
Anyways, just thought I'd introduce myself and post some updates for you guys as I made progress. Good to be here.
