Titans Robber Baron (Blue) by Jody Eklund
Introducing TITANS, The Robber Baron Edition. Titans are
defined as "one that is gigantic in size or power: one that stands out
for greatness of achievement." The men and women in this deck of cards
were referred to as "Titans of Industry." For over three decades, the
rise of new industries and technologies revolutionized the entire world.
This made many men very wealthy and with their great achievements, came
ruthless behavior and abuse of power. The capitalists of the late 19th
century became known as "Robber Barons."
"Business leaders from
about 1865 to 1900 were, on the whole, a set of... rascals who
habitually cheated and robbed investors and consumers, corrupted
government, fought ruthlessly among themselves, and in general carried
on predatory activities comparable to those of the robber barons of
medieval Europe."
- Hal Bridges
The Kings and Jacks
depict those who built empires through ruthless means, and the Queens
are women who spent their life's energy to liberate those oppressed in
many ways. It's a story of juxtaposition; misuse of power and strength
from weakness, oppression, and liberation... This is Titans, these are the Robber Barons.
