Kem Playing Cards Arrow Black and Gold Bridge Size Jumbo Index Playing Cards, Arrow Black/Gold, 1017402

Always good quality

These are more expensive than other cards but hold up five times longer and our wonderful

We play card games just about every weekend. They are too small for a card shuffler, but they shuffle much easier than regular cards. The cards have lasted for over four years. They are getting worn and the ink is fading, but they have been worth every penny. We bought another set and, in three years we will purchase another set. They seem very pricey at first, but we figure we would have spent at least that much replacing regular cards.

Las cartas tienen la calidad de siempre, desde mis bis abuelos todos somos buenos para jugar naipes y son estas las cartas que pasan de generación en generación. Lo único malo es que la caja antes era firme de plástico, para siempre también y ahora vienen de cartón …..una pena! Pero el baile sigue siendo el mejor!! Ultra recomendado, son heredables!

Kim cards are the best plastic cards made! They stand up to being often used. The bridge size is comfortable for smaller hands. The large size preferred for older players who are experiencing sight loss. The flexibility of the cards makes for easier shuttling.

I definitely am not a card expert but sure am a card enthusiast. Bought a few cards recently from Amazon and would like to leave my feedback. I bought Fournier EPT plastic cards, Copag plastic cards, KEM Arrow plastic cards and Bicycle Prestige cards. Off all of them i like the Fournier's best. They have a substantial feel, very thick and you can feel the quality. Dont know why KEM's are considered the best but these, to me atleast, are better. The KEM's are very thin in comparison. Also the cards are slippery but not on your hands. They have a very rough texture so holding them is very comfortable but the cards glide over each other effortlessly. These are made in Spain. The KEM's i found are similar in thickness and texture to the Copag's. The Copag's have the best packaging, very neat. They are made in Brazil. The Bicycle Prestige cards are also made in Spain, most likely by Fournier. They are similar to the Fournier EPT in touch and feel but not as thick.I think since Fournier is a European company and not many people in the US know about them they are not aware of the quality.To me Fournier's are better then KEM's. To others i can say this much, even if they are not better than KEM's they are atleast equal !!!!

After so many years of playing Solitaire and other card games online, I joined a local Bridge group. It felt good to have real cards in my hands again. There was always a deck of Kem cards around the house when I was growing up, so I ordered a 2-deck set thru Amazon. There is something very satisfying about shuffling a deck of real cards and laying out a game. Sure, it takes a bit longer to play with the real thing, but how fast is recreation supposed to be anyhow?

These cards have a wonderful feel — not too slick and not sticky. Easy to shuffle and deal. The face is very readable. And these can be wiped with a damp cloth if they get dirty (no, I’m not putting these in the dishwasher!)
