Kem Playing Cards Arrow Red and Blue, Bridge Size- Standard Index Playing Cards (Pack of 2) - 1007086

These Kems are fantastic cards. They feel just right to the touch, not too slippery or sticky. If you're used to paper cards, they'll seem slick and might feel weird in your hand at first, but rest assured you'll soon wonder why you hadn't discovered plastic cards earlier. They shuffle and deal better and last many, many times longer, which is why most casino poker rooms use plastic cards (Kem is the most common, followed by Copag). Speaking of which, here's my personal take on the Kem vs. Copag debate. Since they're made of different materials, they feel different: Kems are silky smooth while Copags have a more dry plasticky texture. Both of them shuffle and deal equally well, though Copags are slightly thinner and more flimsy. Kems have very detailed graphics and are in general pretty traditional except that face cards have peach-colored faces (as opposed to white). Copags have blocky graphics and lettering, which some people hate but I don't really mind. But the real difference between the two is in their respective weaknesses. - Kem cards can warp, or acquire a permanent bend, if handled improperly (usually related to temperature and humidity). However, this can be prevented by storing each deck with a cut card on top and not handling the cards with sweaty hands. Personally I've had some players hold their cards too tightly, causing the cards to bend, but the bend went away overnight. - Copag cards are made of PVC rather than cellulose acetate, so they do not have a warping problem. However, the ink is rather light and with a lot of shuffling, tends to fade over time. The cards are still identifiable but look nasty. If you want the absolute best, even if there is a small chance that your cards could be ruined, then go for the Kems. If you want the most reliable cards, even if the print job isn't that great, then go for the Copags. If you can't make up your mind and just want my direct opinion, I'd say Kem.

Great cards, nice size and easy to shuffle. Also, if they get a bit sticky, you can wipe them off and dry with a cloth rag.

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.

These are not my only set of plastic cards, but they are by far my favorite. They "feel" thinner than other brands, but they are actually thicker. You know they are thicker because the whole deck is taller than the competition. One great feature of these cards is the texture is not identical between front and back. You only know this to be true when you are dealing the cards. When you deal the cards face down, they slide twice as far compared to when you play them face up. Face up, they tend to stop sliding much quicker than when you deal them face down. This is exactly what you want when playing a card game! We have been playing these cards hard, and they are showing no sign of wear. I don't agree with some of the negative reviews which seem to imply they begin to break down quickly. We have not witnessed anything like that. From this point forward, KEM cards are the preferred brand of playing cards in my family. They are definitely worth the extra cost.

The cards are great. However, they came in a cardboard box and not in the hard plastic box as indicated.

So like, first of all, bravo for creativity. Five stars for having the balls to try something new with the finish. Nothing in the description prepared me for this deck of KEMs. (I bought one deck and it was thin yet slippery along the edges but had a smooth matte finish and I liked it) I don’t know if the finish on these cards is normal or not. But these cards have this crazy finish on them, it’s almost like the veins you see in leaves, so there’s much more friction on these high parts. This rubs off the paint and gives the cards an aging effect that makes you feel like your playing poker in the Wild West! Yee Haw! Hard to shuffle, cards don’t slide across the table, and players didn’t like the way these cards warp a bit more than they should. But all in all, I will happily try anything KEM throws out there.

Very cheap cards !!!! It’s really bad quality ! It says plastic but it’s not !!!! Don’t waste your money !!!!!

I recently purchased a set of high-quality plastic playing cards, and I have been thoroughly impressed with their durability and performance. The cards are made from a sturdy plastic material that is resistant to wear and tear. This means that they don't bend, crease, or tear like traditional paper playing cards, making them perfect for frequent use. The plastic material also provides excellent handling and shuffling characteristics. The cards are easy to shuffle, and they glide smoothly across the playing surface, allowing for quick and precise dealing. Additionally, the cards have a slightly textured finish, which provides a good grip for holding and manipulating them. The card designs are also of excellent quality, with vibrant colors and sharp graphics that make them easy to read and distinguish. The cards are also waterproof, so they are easy to clean and maintain, making them perfect for outdoor activities or playing by the pool. Overall, I am very happy with my purchase of high-quality plastic playing cards. They offer excellent durability, performance, and quality, and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a long-lasting and reliable set of playing cards.

Muito bom qualidade
