I have the poker size so maybe the run was different?
I kind of like the smell of my Desjgn cards. Those are definitely my favorite to use, in terms of feel and looks. I have like 10 different types of cards but I can't ever convince myself to use anything but the Desjgn ones when poker night arrives. I do like the thickness of the FS cards, which is similar to SOME of my Desjgn decks, but this smell is pretty off putting. And honestly I think the graphics are too modern. I put off trying them out for so long but I guess I got bored and figured I might as well buy a set and see.
