To celebrate some of the UK's queens of TV, bespoke cards have been created depicting (pictured) Holly Willoughby and (pictured) Claudia Winkleman, as well as others including Alison Hammond, Tess Daley, Victoria Derbyshire and Janet Street-Porter.

And there's also a new deck of cards created by some of the world's leading women illustrators (from womenwhodraw.com) which celebrate women of all shapes, sizes and colour.

The project is the brainchild of agency FCB Inferno, inspired by a five-year-old girl asking why a king should be more powerful than a queen in a card game. Queen Rules is the result, designed to create awareness of unconscious gender bias and get the conversation on the table.

With support from Unibet, the campaign will launch with simultaneous live events and tournaments of Queen Rules poker today, March 8th in London and Europe.

A social experiment film will be released simultaneously.

All proceeds from the live events and merchandise, including T-shirts, art prints and playing cards, will be donated to HeForShe, a solidarity campaign for the advancement of women initiated by UN Women.
