These cards were felt flimsy and after a few times some stated to bend. I would not buy these cards again.

Fun: A standard deck of playing cards offers an incredible variety of ways to have fun. There are, of course, the different kinds of games you can play. Bidding games, like Bridge; betting games, like Poker; solitaire games, like Klondike; and trick games, like Euchre. These games can be played alone, or with as many as seven people. . . and, more if you add another deck. You can also try to build structures (although, the taller your house of cards, the more decks you may need)– and the Bicycle brand cards are ideal for this activity because of their slick coating. In other words, it’s a challenge! And, of course, there’s the ol’ putting a card in the spokes of your bicycle wheels trick just for the heck of it. Finally, one of the coolest things you can do with this deck of cards is practice and perform magic tricks. Instructions sold separately.
Educational value: As a former 8th grade math teacher, I swear by the educational value of playing cards. From simple games like “War”, which teach relative numeric values (a 5 is greater than a 3, etc. ), to blackjack and 31, which teach adding, and on to 5-hand draw poker, which teaches probability. . . even when young player doesn’t realize he or she is learning. As an adult, of course, there’s always room to learn more about probability and finesse, esp. with social and gambling games like poker and bridge. Durable: The Bicycle brand cards set the standard of quality for plastic-coated playing cards. They don’t bend or crease easily and, treated well, can last for years of normal use. Only casino-style cards like Bee can outlast Bicycles in the plastic-coated class. The most durable playing cards are 100% plastic, like those made by Kem (among others), but Bicycle is a great value for both cost and durability. General: Bicycle stands as one of the few standard brands against which all other plastic-coated playing cards are judged. They last ten times longer than most decks that cost half the price; the face designs are attractive; the numbers are easily readable. These are my brand of choice when I host a card game.
