Kem Playing Cards Arrow Red and Blue, Poker Size-Standard Index Playing Cards (Pack of 2),1007268

THE BEST CARDS OF ALL TIME!! I absolutely love Kem cards! they're the thickest heaviest and best shuffling cards I've come across and they hold up great! I'm the amount of time my single setup has lasted I've gone through several other sets of cards and these have never faded. Some dealers have said they're too bendy but personally I like the amount of flexibility when dealing. They're not cheap but definitely worth the quality of you need a workhorse deck that will see lots of play. These have been old faithful at my local game.

Yes, these are expensive playing cards. They are, however, the very best money can buy, and in the time it takes you to wear out a pack of these, you will have gone through eight or ten packs of Bees or Bikes. Cellulose acetate is an incredibly hard-wearing material, and yet still generous in flex and rebound, creating a pleasant shuffle while maintaining a new feel for far longer than traditional plastic-coated cardstock.

I'm a college student who enjoys playing hold-em with my friends. These are the easiest cards to use. My friend has had a hard time shuffling but after a few tries he has been able to hold his own when its his turn to deal. Definitely not what i had expected at all, but these far exceed my expectations. The cards are a lot more flexible than i would have imagined. they weigh a lot more than i had expected but the cards seem thin and spring back when you leave it be. They are very smooth sliding across each-other but are easy to grip. Unfortunately for KEM i won't probably buy another deck from them, i will probably be using this setup for many games to come. This is probably the reason for the expensive price, they are a company and need to survive. Bicycle cards wear out easily and there will always be another poor sap who buys many decks often, bicycle cards will always have repeat buyers because their cards don't hold up, but KEM expects the decks to last for a while and therefore they don't have as much of a repeat buyer. Everybody has to make their money somehow and they provide a great product so i support them.

I have owned several sets of Kem cards. I received a fake set. I verified with Kem themselves. I hadn’t purchased a new set of cards in a couple years which is why I called when I received this new set. How can you tell? - Cards are in a cardboard box. Real Kem cards come in a hard plastic case - Cards received are textured or “spawled”. Real Kem cards are smooth to touch and feel high quality. - Joker cards have a pixelated image. Real Kem cards have attention to detail on cards even the joker cards. Should not be fuzzy or pixelated images on cards. Hope this helps fellow Amazon buyers. First time receiving a fake set from Amazon. Unfortunately I will be buying direct from Kem from now on. Love these cards for my weekly poker games, there are other good plastic card alternatives but Kem is the best in business (when you get a genuine/authentic set), that is why I am rating 5 stars despite bad experience with fakes.

This is my second set of these cards. The first set lasted 20 years. No exaggeration. After 20 years a few cards started to get brittle and break. Very durable if taken care of. Simply a great set of cards. Even the f they only lasted 5 years I definitely buy again. Only thing to note, they are plastic so they are a bit slippery. That’s easy to get used to.

This is my first set of plastic cards. I play a lot of poker and decided to quit wasting my money on paper cards. I ordered the cards and one of the decks had a cut in the side of the 6 of spades, making that deck unusable. I contacted the seller (The Game Preserve) and they promptly sent me a new set and a postage-paid return envelope. Great service! The feel of the cards is good, not as slippery as some plastic decks can be. The box the cards come in leaves a little to be desired. The box does not snap shut, so if it falls over, you'll be playing 52 pickup. There is also not a clip or something in the middle to keep the top few cards in each deck from moving around (Copag cards have this.) For $25 you'd think a little nicer box would be in order. I'm giving the product 4/5 stars, it loses a star because of the packaging. The Amazon 3rd Party Seller (The Game Preserve) gets 5 stars though. :)

Over the years of playing poker and card games I have bought many top brands. Usually the cards wear out from normal wear and tear. I haven't been playing as much and these cards were only used a handful of times but are now trash. I have no idea what happened but they are covered in tiny cracks, on both sides, in like a spider web. They stick together so much that shuffling and dealing is difficult. I stored them with all other cards etc, and have never seen anything like this. The jokers, that have been used a couple times don't have the cracks. I am going to go back to the other brand and not waste my money here again.

This is a reorder of cards I bought several years ago. Not because I had to, but my grandchildren lost half of them for me :) My retired neighbor and I play on average 1200 GAMES of cribbage every year (probably 10,000+ actual hands per year). We estimate that we easily have played at least 50,000 hands over the past 5 years and I can honestly say that these KEM cards are just as enjoyable today as the day we bought them 5+ years ago. It is truly a marvel that they continue to hold up beyond belief. AND, we have never washed them as many people do. You absolutely will be beyond happy with these cards.

Son super resistentes, flexibles, fáciles de barajar, no se atoran entre si, hemos usado de muchas marcas y ninguna como las KEM, el precio lo vale... el único detalle es que los números son pequeños, pero definitivamente las seguiremos comprando.

J'adore, les meilleurs carte plastifiées du monde pour jouer au poker. J'ai un paquet qui n'a pas bougé depuis 5 ans. Impeccable.

I bought these cards because of my arthritis and I have played cards since my grandfather taught me at age 5. I'm now seeing 60 coming up fast! Regular good quality bicycle cards have been my go-to and they are a staple. But we play some games that require 2 decks of cards. KEMs cards are so easy to shuffle - even both decks together. Excellent quality. Definitely worth the money for someone like me who loves to play cards. I had purchased some expensive cards before this and thought they were great, but after 3-4 months, the color started to fade. My bicycle cards started to stick together because of the humidity (the ones I keep at the lake). I have noticed that the KEM cards finish is starting to wear off, and I am assuming that's also because of the humidity at the lake. So I'm going to keep them at home hoping that's the issue, because they really are the best I've ever had.

Bisher kannte ich KEM-Karte nur vom Hörensagen, die Aussagen über die Qualität sind meiner Meinung nach absolut gerechtfertigt. Wenn man sich KEM-Karten bestellt, dann kann man davon ausgehen, dass man zwei Kartensets bekommt, die jahrelang durchhalten und durch normale Reinigung nicht viel schlechter aussehen als am ersten Tag. Einziger Kritikpunkt: wenn man das Kartendeck längere Zeit ohne Hülle oder Ähnliches lagert dann verbiegen sich die obersten Karten des Decks minimal. Dieser Zustand ist nicht permanent und kann durch die Auflage eines leichten Gegenstandes verhindert oder aufgehoben werden. Für mich eine super Investition.

Like very good
