What are everyone's favorite cards? (2 Viewers)

Agree. I'd love to see a Bicycle Prestige come out in bridge size. That would mimic the wonderful handling of the 2012 WSOP cards. IMHO Fournier pokers are a little stiff but in bridge size they are just about perfect.
Fournier 2826 are maybe my favourite cards indeed.

That hit the spot....

2012 WSOP cards are fantastic indeed
 
Update: dealing another home game tomorrow night just made me impulse buy 2 setups of broken arrows for the home game after. Will post a separate review on them later but ordered the bridge black and gold and the poker orange and purple. Excited!!
 
If I had to choose just one than it’s probably Piatnik bridge/jumbo.
But there are many good cards out there.
It’s also worth mentioning that what I like gets hate from my players sometimes. Angel Club Pokers are a good example :cautious:
 
I could put my hands on Modiano at 13.90€ / setup while searching for Sicilian cards 100% plastic.

Even though I would have peferred bridge size, at this price, I thought it was a steal.

This will be the first time I'll test these Platinium.
 
Broken Arrow is having a group buy for a new design. $8 per setup

Broken Arrow also is still doing live sales through their online store. You can get more information here. Also $8 a setup

Desjgn is currently working on releasing a new batch of designed cards and card stock. More information
Just purchased and now have these in bridge to compliment the copag in poker size. Really like both...
 
Typically we'll use Faded Spade at home games, which I'm a fan of. I still like Copag and have a wide array of those, along with a plethora of the used WSOP decks, which I think are a great deal for what I'll call "throw away cards". I've tried Broken Arrow once and will get a few more decks of those. I know there are others I've gotten that I just have not attempted to toss into play yet. Threads like this are great as it shows what other good brands are out there.
 
The only plastic cards I have ever used are Copags but I am very interested in finding something that is similar priced and might better quality overall.
 
I personally have used the bicycle prestige and still like them best but not through years of experience but what was available. I have used Copag and settled on the bridge size once i realized that was not taboo for poker.

I will say that I have recently given a shuffle to a friend who is a blackjack dealer and he does love the Broken Arrow cards due to their consistency. He is a pro and says they work well and he does say "what works best for you is best"

Ultimately i would say, so many cards available is great.

Normally this must be scientific but this is more subjective than chips.

In the price range (here in EU), Modiano Platinum.
Also, still in Europe, Fournier Bridge/Jumbo are in the same price range.
Actually, the good Copags (Texas Holdem made in BE, similar to Cartamundi Casino) are more expensive.
Cheaper than the Copag, we have other Modiano (6-7€ a deck) in farious format (Bridge/Jumbo, Poker/Jumbo or Poker/Regular), Dal Negro that can be found at the same price, ...

If it's a pain to be in Europe for the chips, we are more lucky for the cards. ;-)

Bicycle Prestige being available at Walmart is the reason I have them in play at my place. I do like them, better than the Copags I had previously been using. But since joining this site my curiosity has been untamed and I got in on the broken arrow group buy. But nothing beats the convenience of being able to grab a deck of prestige and a case of beer at the same time.

I like the texture of the Prestige better than the COPAGs (which has a total lack of the same). The main drawback for me with Prestige is the lack of Jumbo index. The old school standard index is great for all our other games except for Holdem where our aging eyes need all the help they can get when the cards out laid out on the table a few feet away....

If Bicycle Prestige put out a jumbo index line, and are readily available at big box stores in every area... Game changer.

Of all the cards that I have used, by far Fournier EPT are my favorites. The worst is Modiano (too thin) and as previously mentioned, Copag wear quickly.
I have some of Justin's early Broken Arrow, and I like thefeelof the cards, but the font for the numbers is not a hit with my players.
I believe his newer version, that has been addressed.

I know it's unpopular here but really like Modiano Platinum, lately been using Trefl a ton and just bought Dal Negro to give a try

Passionately dislike Copags though.
I think Trefls are my favourite, fantastic value for money, full bleed, great design.
After playing with them first time two mates from our group also bought them for when they'll be hosting.

Can attest to this. Trefls are awesome, my group loves them too

After almost half a year of use, at least twice a month, they are still holding up damn well.
Backs are a little worn, but the front ink is still holding strong.

Can't say the same for Modiano and Faded Spades. The ink has gone to shit
 
What I like with Fournier 2826 is that the index is not that Jumbo, almost like Desjgn blackjack index.
