Secret Lair x Monty Python and the Holy Grail: Vol. 1:
Five decades ago, King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table set off on a sacred quest to reclaim the Holy Grail. They… still haven’t found it. But they stopped by Secret Lair and told us all about their escapades, immortalised in Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Go watch it! We liked it so much that we made two drops inspired by it. This drop even has a double-sided Birds of Paradise that lets you choose between an African and European Swallow. How do we know so much about swallows? Well, you have to know these things when you’re a king.
Secret Lair x Monty Python and the Holy Grail: Vol. 2:
The volume of this drop shall be “2,” no more, no less. If thou proclaim it “1,” thou speakest of our other drop. The cards herein are different. If thou pronounce the volume to be “3,” thou speakest falsely for there is no such thing. “2” shall be the volume of this drop. And in this drop, thou shalt discover cards featuring scenes and quotes from Monty Python and the Holy Grail. And perchance thou shalt lobbest thine cards against thy foe to gain victory most sweet.

About Monty Python
Monty Python was born in May 1969, in a tandoori restaurant in Hampstead, where five Brits (Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Eric Idle, Terry Jones and Michael Palin) and an American animator (Terry Gilliam) first sat down to spice up the world of comedy by planning a new BBC series.
After the success of their debut series ‘Monty Python’s Flying Circus’, the group transformed the comedic landscape, producing multiple hit films including ‘Monty Python and the Holy Grail’ and ‘Monty Python’s Life of Brian’, as well as various live comedy performances, record albums, documentaries, books and the hit stage show ‘Spamalot.’
Monty Python revolutionised comedic entertainment with their surreal and absurdist humour, blending wit, satire, and slapstick in a way that had never been seen before. From argument clinics to dead parrots, the Pythons abandoned conventional structures and embraced “something completely different”.
Today, Python keeps their famous foot in the future with a wide range of merchandise and games, active social media channels and strategic brand partnerships ensuring that the work of Monty Python, in all its iterations, will continue to be loved by future generations.
