Don’t beg for a seat when the table is built for you.

Everyone talks about the playing cards, but not the Card Table. The gathering place where culture, community, and competition meet. It’s the nostalgic feeling of your grandma’s table - a place that could provide the nourishment of food one moment, then transform into a place of play, laughter, and competition the next. A place where memories are revisited, stories are told, and dreams and aspirations are shared. The Card Table has always been there for you. You never had to beg for a seat, because the Table was already yours. I’m grateful to have worked with other card companies along the way. Through those experiences, I learned a lot. About myself. After creating hundreds of videos with other brands, I realized something: The Table I’d been searching for was already there. I just needed to pull up my chair. The Table is community. The Table is culture. The Table is competition. The Table is laughter. The Table is the euphoric feeling of vulnerability - of being comfortable enough to talk trash, tell stories, dream out loud, and simply be yourself. Because when the right people gather around the Table, it becomes more than a place to play cards. It becomes a place to belong.

All Glory to God. It’s an Honor. Hi! I am Tyrus Earls. My family has been rooted in Card Game culture since I can remember. Especially the Card Game Spades. My Papa (Grandfather) would play Spades with us every chance we get - even on his death bed. And just like Card Game Culture, Cancer too, has been rooted in my family since I can remember. My Grandfather would always ask where the Cards at, and we would play Spades, in my family and laugh and compete. I then start to realize, Spades has become poetic in a way. A metaphor for life. You will have your bad days - just like bad hands. But let that bad day, just be that bad day. There are times where you will have nothing to give, but you still have to show up and be present. And then there are times when all hope is lost, but then, there you have it - A 10 hand. The opportunity to turn everything around. That God will double your blessing, all you have to do is trust and keep fighting for the next hand (next day). Along with Spades, I increased my shuffling skills by learning magic tricks when I was younger, playing other games that involved quickness and mental skills like Speed, Egyptian Rat Screw, Gin Rummy, Tonk, Hearts, Poker and more. I’ve played these games growing up, at MEPS when my brother was entering Basic Training for The Air Force, and then in my Military Career - at Tech School and the myriad of places I’ve visited while serving in The Air Force Reserves In 2020, I commissioned as an Air Force Officer Graduating from Clemson University . During this time everyone was happy for me, but didn’t know I was also battling mental health at the time. While COVID pushed my report date back, in 2021, this was the first time I had my very own apartment by myself - while dealing with an internal battle. To combat staring at a wall, I began to make skit content videos and then May 28 (My Grandfather’s Birthday), 2022, I created my first Spades Video in honor of him. To present, hundreds of videos have been made, created content videos for card brands and card apps which I am grateful for - and eventually leading me into creating my own discord / community as well as The Brand of Cards you see here. I want to Create a Legacy. I won’t be able to tell my Love for my Grandfather and Uncle and Loved ones for ever as this physical body will come and go. But Card Table Will. It will remind you of your loved ones. Of Community. Of Grace Of Mercy How another shuffle is another opportunity to Love. This is Card Table

Card Table belongs to Culture and Community. It is for the host who keeps the rotation going on holidays and game nights, the college kid who learned at home and brought it to the dorm, the veteran who learned on deployment, the couple who plays partners every Friday, and the gift-giver who knows exactly what their people want. The table is set.
