Holy crap. If, like me, you’ve never played with plastic cards before- stop reading, PM
@Josh Kifer and order 20. Or 40. Now. At $4 a deck, you can’t go wrong. You will thank me.
I don’t know why you’re still reading. Go.
Details:
They’re no more slippery than paper Bicycle Standards. I set them down on my slightly inclined work desk and saw a bit of movement. So I did a drop test and noted how the cards slid. Did the same with a fresh pack of Bicycle Standards. Same result.
Snap-back is amazing. Again, first plastic cards in hand. I bought some others but haven’t opened them up yet, so I can’t compare across plastic. I tortured these cards, folding, bending, torquing. It pisses me off that my crowd would bend and mash up my paper cards during the game. So I did a quick forceful torture test of a Bicycle card and then did the same on the Cartamundi. And when nothing happened, I did it again. And again. Only after countless, really hard snapping-corner peaks, did I break a card- small tear.
And then I kept going on another corner to see how hard I could push it. And yeah, I broke a tiny corner off. I had to be rough and what broke was from something that folks don’t do. I had to really push these cards, cause, well... look at the paper card after a fraction of the same abuse.

But really, your time is better spent buying.
Feel. Mmmmmmm. Good.
Verdict: I’m giving my kids my paper cards. Never again. Get these, now.
