Best Bridge Playing Cards? (1 Viewer)

[Old State]

Wise words "if you are hosting the best cards are those your players like".

Putting together a neighborhood game years back I researched and sampled Kem, Copag, Mondiano, and ended up liking Kem the best. After a few hands, the regular guys at the table wanted to know what kind of cock a mamie cards these slippery things were, and we switched to regular Bicycles for that night.

I occasionally play in a small neighborhood game with some very novice level players. None have ever played with real cards in a casino. After several games with paper cards I gave the host a setup of brand new Copags. He evidently used them once in a game I wasn’t there and and the players complained so he threw them out!
I invited him up to my game and he played with plastic cards all night. Ended up buying himself another setup and they have used them ever since. No one complains any more

People don’t know what they don’t know and will just resist anything new to them. Paper cards are amateur hour !

Hello Everyone

I am thinking of buying some new decks of playing cards in the Bridge size.

Currently have 12 packs of Copag Pokerstars Poker-sized cards, but I have heard a lot of people recommending bridge size.

So I thought I would turn to you guys to see what brands you recommend through experience and reputation.

Currently considering Faded Spade and WSOP Copag

Many thanks.

I prefer Copag Bridge Size/Jumbo. They are a little slick, but you get used to it. Slide really nice in a self dealt game. Their customer service is amazing. I had a card get bend in a game and they sent me a replacement for no charge.

Tried Desjgn. They gather and shuffle nice but pitching them they stick to the table.

KEM shuffle and pitch nice but warp and are expensive. Avoid!

Fournier (WSOP) shuffle and pitch nice, but gathering them socks. They "crash" into each other.
