Hi all,
When you pick cards to use, what characteristics are most important to you? Are there certain things that just bug you that make a card a no-go for your game?
For me, I think the most important thing is the feel. I don't like slick cards. I prefer a textured feel. The biggest thing that I hate in a deck of cards is when you place them down on the table and they start to slide on each other.
I have no particular preference for flex. I've been all over the map on this. I lean towards liking them a little on the stiffer side, but I like some cards on the more flexible side too. I have always preferred poker size, but I have acquired a number of bridge sized decks I really like, so I may try to switch our group!
I don't like full bleed cards. I don't like the wear that shows on the edges and how it's hard to distinguish the cards from each other in a pile. Jumbo index is required for our aging group. A pet peeve of mine that is a little unusual are jumbo index pips that you have to bend up a lot in order to see the suit. My favorite PIP size by far are the ones on the Ace brand cards. Problem with those is that they are too slick and bendy for me! What are your preferences?
