- Regal Games Set of 12 Premium Monaco Elite Poker Playing Cards, 100% Plastic, Waterproof

I needed cards to build 2, 6 deck shoes for our local Legion for poker night. They're amazing. I've dealt hundreds of hands, shuffled them, put them on a wet bar, dropped them on sticky bar mats. Just wipe them off, good to go. Seriously, they shuffle well, (just about) feel like normal playing cards, deal well, and are durable as you could ask for. I don't know if they'd be good for throwing at watermelons, but I'm fairly certain they'd be good for that too. I suppose the only criticism is that they can be slippery... played 208 pickup a couple times. Still, wouldn't trade these cards for the world if you're using them for people who play a lot of cards and drink a lot. Enjoy!

These cards are the thickness that pretty much all standard cards are. They shuffle so much easier than paper cards, they will not absorb water, they can be cleaned with mild soap and water. The texture feels much like paper cards yet there plastic. These cards will last several times longer than paper cards, you can go wrong with these cards at a little under $3.00 a deck. I can assure you I'll be buying more of these if they ever wear out. I'm using six decks at a time playing Hand, Foot and Toe.

These look so much like the paper cards that I wondered if it was a bait and switch! But no, these are plastic. They feel good and shuffle well. And worth it. Had them for a week and had an accident with coffee. Cards still good.

I almost gave these cards five stars; I'd give them 4.5 stars if I could. We decided to buy plastic playing cards after taking regular Bicycle decks camping, and having them ravaged by the humidity. After many camping trips with these, I can say the cards themselves are holding up much better. They're impervious to weather, and if the cards get dirty they wipe down fine. So why the star reduction? While the playing card material themselves is holding up great, the ink the face is printed with is fading and flaking off at a decent clip from the weather. In fact even modest humidity seems to make it stick to other cards and come off. I wouldn't dock regular playing cards for not handling weather perfectly, but for waterproof cards I feel like it's reasonable to expect them to be able to handle a bit of moisture in the air. Note this only affected the front--whatever ink they printed the back with seems to be better quality. And it doesn't affect actual gameplay, as the cards (for at least the foreseeable future) are still quite readable, but it's an issue worth noting. I will say the issue seems to be slowing down if anything rather than accelerating. Other than that, nothing but good things to say about these cards. Shuffling is great. Cards seem very durable. Design is typical and unremarkable--a plus for us as they're cards, not a work of art. One other thing I will say, neither as a plus or negative but to be aware of, is that (as I expect all waterproof cards are) the deck is slightly thicker than a normal deck of cards. I'd not have noticed at all, but it kept us from being able to store the decks in the game we take camping with us as we could with regular cards.

Great Product!

These are excellent cards for the price. The cards are very thick and feel durable. Their thickness is comparable to Copag, Modianos, and Kems; attached is a picture comparing their thickness to Copags, Da Vincis (Modianos), and Kem cards. The cards are remarkably flexible for their thickness; they are easier to bend and grab off a table than Modianos. They have a nice paper-like texture to them which seems to reduce the cards sliding, and are pleasant to shuffle. There were no scruffs on the cards; there is a slight pattern on the edge caused by the cutter, but the pattern was consistent across the deck and does not appear to mark the cards. The only issue I have with them is that the backs are not quite centered (see attached picture); for the price, this is only a minor annoyance, since all of the cards in the deck are centered the same amount. The faces have a bit of an old fashioned feel to them; the court cards are very warm colored, with no blue in them (only black, red, and yellows). The index is standard index and the cards are poker sized. The deck has 54 cards: The 52 standard French-suited (“Poker”) cards, as well as a red joke and a black joker which can be easily distinguished from each other. Unlike other decks, there aren’t any extra cards advertising the brand, ranking poker hands, or what not. This is the best low-cost deck I have ever used, even with the slight annoyance with the backs not being quite centered. I can not comment on their long-term durability, but they have a good durable feel to them.

These shuffle much easier than paper cards. The cards feel like a new deck even after hundreds of shuffles. After several months I noticed that some of the imprinting is beginning to wear off, but they have outlasted several paper decks.

Like how durable and sturdy they are, very impressed with the cards. Great value for your money. Would definitely buy again but I'm sure these will last for many years to come.
