Customer Reviews

excellent set of cards
I purchased these as a gift for a fanatical poker player. He was very excited to have such a nice set of cards.

Kem Cards are the Best
The cards are wonderful, just as my own set is, which is 15+ years old. They were a gift for my card-playing group, and everyone was thrilled with them. I ordered bridge size, because most of us are bridge players, and the cards fit into the duplicate boards; and the jumbo index. My selection was just as ordered, and arrived quickly.

Great deck of playing cards
I got these playing cards along with Copag playing cards Copag Poker Size Regular Index Playing Cards (Master Design Setup) a few years ago with the Poker craze. Both are very high quality and I'm not sure I have a preference of one over the other.

They are very good since they are plastic, thus washable and hopefully last forever. The quality of the cards is very nice. The Bridge-size isn't really a concern, even though I've used them exclusively for Poker games. I like the ability to use them for Bridge though! Mine are actually the Regular index instead of Jumbo, but Jumbo index can't hurt for those that find it hard to see from a long table or if they are older. Come to think of it, Jumbo should be better!

I would've liked a simpler design on the back to prevent people from marking the cards, but considering it's durability and our honesty, this isn't a concern. The white border prevents people from bottom-dealing too!

The only problem I had when I received these cards from a store on eBay a few years ago was that some of the cards in a deck had round dents on them, thus are naturally marked. This didn't look good and could aid in cheating as described before. Thankfully, KEM has a great policy where you return the Ace of Spades along with the damaged cards and you can get a new deck. This was promptly done and it's great. They even gave me a nice sturdy black plastic box for the new deck! Now I have a deck with 5 cards missing and 2 whole decks; so if any other cards get damaged, I can replace them.

One last minor detail: when shuffling with these cards, they can fly since they're so smooth and clean! So make sure whoever is shuffling knows how to do riffle shuffles well!
