I picked up a 12 pack of Fournier EPT Playing cards at a reasonable but still pretty high price. They have nice designs, shuffle, pitch and slide well.
But I could absolutely never reccomend them because they are so easily marked. I cannot get through a single session without replacing cards, to the point where I think I'm going to need to put a fresh deck in every week. My players aren't total rock apes but every few hours another card has a very visible fingernail mark on it. This has happened every session for four weeks with different players, and it's clearly not intentional as there's no rhyme or reason to the marking.
How on earth can people fawn over these cards when they are quite simply not fit for purpose vis a vis card security?
