Copag Elite 100% Plastic Playing Cards, Poker Size (Standard) Jumbo Index Single Deck (Blue)

Nice one. Bought for my son. He is happy with these.

These are really nice playing cards. Made of PVC, they are durable and washable. Cards and snacks go hand-in-hand so wash-ability is a HUGE plus. The printing on them is very crisp. The back design in interesting and attractive which is important to me. They do cost significantly more than a regular deck of cards, but will last MUCH longer. If you play a lot, you will certainly spend less on these versus traditional cards over time. I play a lot of Euchre, which is a "partial deck" game. With regular cards after only a few games you can see from the deck edges what are the "played" cards and what are the ones never used. With these cards that doesn't happen, or, if it did, a quick wash would put them back to new. There are a couple of things to be aware of with plastic cards in general and Copag specifically. The first, that applies to all plastic cards, is that they are slippery, especially at first. Sometimes if you are not careful they will go flying when you are handling them. That is the nature of a durable surface that is easily washable. You will get used to it. The second thing that is definitely true of Copag and some, but not all, of it's rivals is that they have a scent. I don't find it objectionable at all, but I tend to like the smell of petroleum based things like vinyl, plastic and fuel. The smell is different than anything else I have smelled. Is the scent a health issue? I have no idea. If you are very sensitive to scent you may want to steer clear and look for reviews of plastic cards (or, alternatively, acetate cards) that don't have negative smell comments in the reviews. It would be a shame, though, to miss out on the many benefits of plastic cards just due to scent. Overall, these are great cards.

These cards smelled toxic and I threw them out. The odor was overpowering, like burnt plastic or car radiator fluid. Even after a few days of use it persisted. So I threw them away. Too bad because they look nice.

Great product initially, but one of the cards cracked while shuffling after only 7 months of light use. Thankfully, replacement cards can easily be ordered on copag website.

We use six decks on the game we play. The cards are durable.

If you're not using this brand then you need to reevaluate your life.
