Need good plastic cards

Deputy Dog · #1 10-06-2007, 01:53 PM

I've bought two decks of plastic cards - Vegas and KEM Arrow - but both decks are so flimsy and feel cheap. I've played with thicker plastic cards in games before, but don't know what kind they were. What are the thicker plastic cards? Are KEM Casino cards thicker than KEM Arrow?

DAL NEGRO and MODIANO are the thickest plastic playing cards that I know of.

The Kem Arrow is probably the best deck of cards you can get. But if you want thicker more paper like cards try Del Negro or Modiano.

I suggest you spend some more time with the Kems though, once you get used to them you won't want to use any other card except for maybe Copag.

I've only ever used COPAG's. Love 'em. I think the design is great, they feel really good, durable. You really have to try to break them to inflict any kind of damage at all.

No substitute for KEM Arrow cards for me, but Copags are decent.

Thanks for the responses, all. I appreciate the help.

I've got KEM, Dal Negro & Copags and my local cardroom uses Modiano's. My favorite by far is the KEMs!!

But if you want a thicker card then the Dals are nice. My Copags have really faded out colors which is typical but do have a great feel.

Personally not a fan of Modianos, really flimsy and prone to warping.

I have all the brands and prefer to use the Dal Negro's. Love em...

Kems are nice. They are thin, which makes them easy to shufle, but makes some people think they are flimsy.

Copags are nice, and have beautiful backs, but the colors are less briliant than other decks.

I use Desjgn cards in my home game, perhaps since they were designed by my good friend Jason, but also because they have beautiful court cards and pip placements (which I admit are not for everyone).

At less than $8 per deck, they are also a real bargain in plastic cards.
