What’s everyone’s Favorite playing cards ? (1 Viewer)

[doublebooyah85]

Desjgn makes something called Black Jack index, Faded Spade jumbo is like 20% smaller than traditional

Hmmm. So which do you recommend, looks like they have 4? http://classicplayingcards.com/catalog.html

I think I got it. I would want Poker size with Blackjack Index...thanks!

Good question and it might make a difference. Because desijgn has used at least three different card stocks over the years, as far as I can tell. And when it comes to cards, for me, it’s 90% about the stock. So merely recommending desjgns is, to me, like saying “go buy some quality plastic cards.”

My favorite cards were the KEM Galaxy that is long discontinued.

Now, I prefer KEM Arrow, except the price. I have Angel and love them, except the price. I mostly use Desjgn because of the value. Though, I have many other setups. I would rotate if I had a regular game going again.

They are also marketplace vendors on here which we should support whenever possible

At the Chesterfield Club right? That's probably why I bought them in addition to the Arrows. Hahahaha.

Bingo... I had to rewind and freeze for a few times

For me it's Cartamundi BE stock

Which Cartamundi's do you have? If it's the neighboring Belgian stock they're one of my favorite cards out there.

You guys have a source for those?

Best 4-color decks? The Faded Spades sets that I bought were a total flop with my regs.

Let me know if you want some Paulo...i'll make that happen with pleasure.

I still have 1 bridge & 1 poker size setup...only kem's I still own (and one more setup of WSOP cards)
These are the only kem decks that did not warp on me.

Awesome, Thomas. Much appreciated man... Not at all surprised by your thoughtfulness...

I already ordered a few decks though, LOL!!!! Like 4 seconds after @JMC9389 posted the link. When you and him suggest cards, I have to take that super seriously! LOL!!!

Regardless, thank you for the offer!

 

[Thomacetti]

Feel free to hit me up if you need to reload or add on.

I can always slip in some decks when shipping stuff to US to keep 'm cheap as possible.
You are going to love them.

I guarantee it. My game is self dealt. My players like the Cartamundi Belgium casino cards the best. They shuffle like a dream. We just need to somehow have a run of the same cards on the same stock in bridge jumbo with the same face designs and fonts and we'll be cooking on all burners.

Working on that buddy...but progress is slow.
Very hard to get on the inside @Cartamundi...but the reward will be huge if it works out.

 

[Nanook]

Thanks!
With all the good reviews here, I think I'll have to pick up a set up

 

[Han Trinh]

I'm getting tempted to order some Cartamundi cards.. How are they with warping over time?
It sounds like the one to get are the Cartamundi "casino" ones... thanks for the link @JMC9389

Any other brands to try out if ordering from that link? There's a bunch of brands not available in Canada on that site.

That’s the store where I’m ordering my cards, but it’s a different website : www.Pokerwinkel.nl

They do have have some Sun-Fly ceramics and hybrids in stock as well. Very fast delivery and good customer service !

Well one worth ordering is the Fournier 2800 titanium for sure, amazing cards as well. But I do admit the cartamundi do shuffle better. The Fournier seems the stronger cards durability wise IMO by feel. Fournier are 10% more expensive.

I wonder if these titanium’s are printed on different stock than the fourneirs I’m used to? Like 2826

Can’t say for sure ! All I know is that they’re grippier and less smooth but the quality is outstanding. One thing I do prefer Fournier over the cartamundi is the faces and design.
And for shuffling, cartamundi is a little easier. However IMO both are on the same level.

I love the new Faded Spade 2.0's. Haven't had them in legacy Black and Red, but the 4 colour variant is excellent and really high quality. Stands up to way more abuse than any other card I've tested and the non-traditional portraits and font are welcome for me.

That’s what I have in the four color variant. Very top notch cards!

 

[TriLam]

I have a number of set ups. Just got some Faded Spades 2.0 4 color I am waiting to try. I have been going to my Piatnik 4 pips lately...

I always liked NTP best. Haven't heard the name in a while.

 

[buzzmonkey]

"KEM card superior uver Cabomungy card! Cabomungy stupid jabroni card! KEM nomber von!"

Couldn’t agree more. My first plastic setup. I really like DN cards. Unfortunately, post “poker boom”, they’re almost impossible to find here in the states. Just like any other cards, if you have to ship from Europe, it get really expensive.
