I got these playing cards along with Copag playing cards Copag Poker Size Regular Index Playing Cards (Master Design Setup) a few years ago with the Poker craze. Both are very high quality and I'm not sure I have a preference of one over the other.

They are very good since they are plastic, thus washable and hopefully last forever. The quality of the cards is very nice. The Bridge-size isn't really a concern, even though I've used them exclusively for Poker games. I like the ability to use them for Bridge though! Mine are actually the Regular index instead of Jumbo, but Jumbo index can't hurt for those that find it hard to see from a long table or if they are older. Come to think of it, Jumbo should be better!

I would've liked a simpler design on the back to prevent people from marking the cards, but considering it's durability and our honesty, this isn't a concern. The white border prevents people from bottom-dealing too!

The only problem I had when I received these cards from a store on eBay a few years ago was that some of the cards in a deck had round dents on them, thus are naturally marked. This didn't look good and could aid in cheating as described before. Thankfully, KEM has a great policy where you return the Ace of Spades along with the damaged cards and you can get a new deck. This was promptly done and it's great. They even gave me a nice sturdy black plastic box for the new deck! Now I have a deck with 5 cards missing and 2 whole decks; so if any other cards get damaged, I can replace them.

One last minor detail: when shuffling with these cards, they can fly since they're so smooth and clean! So make sure whoever is shuffling knows how to do riffle shuffles well!

I was disappointed upon receiving these cards as I opted for the Jumbo size set however only 1 deck is Jumbo and the other is standard......this was never stated....it says Jumbo set (which it was not).

I have a couple of sets of Kem plastic playing cards. With just a modicum of care they should last a lifetime... really a first class product.

But (always a but, right?) they are incredibly SLICK... if you are not careful a hand shuffle will result in the cards flying in all directions. While playing bridge with friends over the years I have had just about the same number of complaints as positive comments.

They take a bit of familiarity

Kem cards were supposedly the best, but the new ones from US Playing Card Company are worthless. Unfortunately, after I bought 2 decks - both became unuseable after only 3 months. The fronts became "crackled" and the entire cards warped. Never seen anything like it. They had a great product

I suggest:
Gemaco
Modiano
Dal Negro

I purchased these as a gift for a fanatical poker player. He was very excited to have such a nice set of cards.

I was looking for a very good quality playing card set. I had bought in the past some plastic cards, but after a while, they started breaking off ! The KEM playing cards (made by The United States Playing cards company) are made of celllulose acetade 100% pastic which makes them a lot more résistant with the feel of paper. They are the best I have found so far and beleive that they will last me manys years.

Kem cards have been the highest quality playing cards available for many years. They cost a bit more than other premium cards, but their beauty and function more than justify their price.

This was purchased as a gift for my Mother who has Macular degeneration/low vision. She has played Bridge for years and has always enjoyed KEM cards. As her vision lessens it is terrific for her to be able to continue to enjoy the activities she still can. So this was a perfect match! Thank you for products for people with low vision!

Love these cards! When you take the plastic off the cards and use them for the very first time, you truly won't believe the feel! I ordered as set for myself and loved them so much, that I have since ordered a set for my Mother!

We've bought this brand before and continue to do so because of its quality. Kem cards are durable and easy to deal. They do not tear or bend easily.
