50th Birthday Trivia Cards – 1975 Flickback Deck – Gift for Men or Women Born in 1975 – Fun 50th Birthday Game, Vintage 1975 Playing Cards with Trivia Questions – Gift for Mom Dad Husband Wife

My wife and I are huge fans of trivia games. We watch all of the trivia TV shows we can find, we test each other on music all the time, and we go to play pub trivia whenever possible. Naturally, when I saw this deck of cards with trivia on them from 1975, the year my wife was born, I had to buy themEven though time for fun and games is not as plentiful as we would like we still find time for trivia. These cards have provided us with hours of enjoyment. It has been fun asking her questions specific to the year she was born. We both love showing each other our useless knowledge so these cards were a definite hit. We both actually have learned a bunch of new things about the 1970s.The cards are high quality, and are great to use for the trivia and for regular competitive games of cards. These will be used often, and I am actually in the process of looking for these cards for my birth year, and my son's birth year as well.50th Birthday Trivia Cards – 1975 Flickback Deck – Gift for Men or Women Born in 1975 – Fun 50th Birthday Game, Vintage 1975 Playing Cards with Trivia Questions – Gift for Mom Dad Husband Wife

If you want a fun, one-time romp through memories of 1975, these cards will do the job, albeit at a somewhat inflated price. If you want a deck of playing cards, look elsewhere. These cards are standard size, but not quite as slick as other new decks. Most of the images on the cards are good, but some are too dark and/or appear to be low resolution. I wouldn't use them as playing cards because, as you can see from the image, the trivia question and the image sometimes obscure a lot of the face of the card, making it harder to see at a glance what cards you are holding. It's fun to test your memory of events from 50 years ago, but not worth the price for either the trivia nor the deck of playing cards.

This is a nice set of playing cards full of trivia about the year 1975. They're really fun to look through, either to learn more history or to reminisce; I was familiar with some of the facts, but many were new to me. The set contains a full deck of playing cards, each of which has a question about a 1975 event on in. In addition there is a cover card and two cards that have the answers to the trivia questions. You'll need to make sure you hang on to the answer cards, otherwise the trivia won't be as fun.They are a standard 2.5x3.5 inches and printed on sturdy material. The only thing I don't like is that they don't come with the standard paperboard/cardboard box to slip the cards into. Instead they come in a very brittle and highly breakable plastic box. Mine was already shattered upon arrival, and looking at it I could tell that it's a plastic that wouldn't last long under normal circumstances. I would prefer the much more durable and classic paperboard box.

These are good quality cards and make a fun gift for anyone who loves trivia! If you're born the year they are made, you'll probably have a tough time with the trivia on the cards but they would also be great for anniversaries or to collect multiple years and mix them up!

We played a few rounds. Everyone enjoyed it. Thanks!

served its purpose ... nothing stellar though

These cards make a neat birthday gift for those born in 1975. The trivia is fun and challenging. The numbers are easy to read, and the pictures fit the theme, give clues, and are printed well, and the hard case is a nice touch that keeps the cards from getting dirty or bent. The set does have a couple of issues, though, and those keep me from loving it.1) The cards aren't as thick or as high quality as I've come to expect from standard playing cards. As a result, they bend easily and are difficult to shuffle.2) While I love that the case is included and that it elevates this item as a gift, it jams easily and can be difficult to open at times.3) Some of the questions can be quite obscure, which can make them frustrating at times.Despite those things, I have no problem giving them as a present or recommending them, provided the set's limitations are noted and expectations are tempered accordingly.

What a great gift for my dear husband's 40th birthday!
