I purchased these cards about one month ago now. Ive played several home games with them and company is always impressed with the quality and feel ofthe cards. I feel equally enthused about them. That being said they are not the leading plastic card out there (though usally the most expensive). they are much slicker than "Copag" or "Dal Negros" (my personal favorite) brand cards and tend to fly everywhere if one of ur players tries to bridge them. they are very durable but a lil lighter in feel than my othe platic decks. Over all very happy with them, but if i was to buy another deck of plastics...id just go for the italian or braizilian cards.

I buy these for wedding presents. Great product. The cards NEVER stick together unless they're really wet, and all you do is dry them because they're PLASTIC!! Woo Hoo! They shuffle well and they slide well when you are passing out cards, but not too slippery so they don't fall off the table.

We get lots of compliments and I just tell the single guys to get married, or go buy them for themselves (cheaper that way!)

I've gone through several different cards recently, a set of Copag, some Da Vinci, and Kem full size.

These are the best that will give you the feel of being at a card room or casino since they use the narrow size.

They will last and you will enjoy them. I most certainly do.

I love my cards, just be carefull with the size, because I did not and now I have norrow and standrd, but the product is JUST GREAT !

I grew up in a family that played all their card games with KEM cards. Over 20 years later, we still play with those same exact cards. Since these cards are 100% plastic, they don't get bent as easily and they will not get ruined by water (or coffee as was the case in my family). Remembering how well KEM cards held up, and starting my own family game nights, I decided to get some of these cards knowing they would last a long time. While they certainly don't have a true paper feel and tend to be a little on the slippery side, they are great cards and we look forward to the many game nights to come.

I am not a card enthusiast but the lady and I love to play card games together so I bought this as a gift for us. Can't compare it to the other plastic card makers out there but we have really enjoyed them so far. They shuffle beautifully, had no real break in time, and feel the same since day one after quite a few games played. As for the smell that some reviewers mention, we hardly noticed anything and definitely didn't think the mild odor that we did smell was unpleasant. Time will tell if it was worth the money, but for now I am pleased with the feel of the cards and the ink/design on the face and back of cards.

I bought these and a deck of the Copags. I personally prefer these.

I am disappointed they didn't come with a plastic cut card. I seriously have to buy one now?

Seeing as there are a number of more detailed reviews on this item, I'll provide quick notes for those scanning the review section:

THE GOOD

+ Durable

+ Narrow (makes it easier to hold larger numbers of cards comfortably)

+ Attractive (the items held by the Royal Court cards are all recognizable instead of being decorative symbols like so many other card decks)

THE BAD

- Thin/Lightweight (the cards can easily be sent flying on smooth surfaces and can be hard to pick up)

- Expensive

THE NEITHER GOOD NOR BAD

= Slick (makes for easy, smooth shuffling but requires a firmer than normal grip to hold)

= Distinctive Odor (I personally like the odor. It smells nostalgic to me. In any case, the smell will fade over time if you aren't a fan)

Its the best playing cards that I already had. Excellent product. It is worthwhile to buy.

Hard to pick up from a smooth table top. Fingers with nails would help.
