Review on KEM Poker Arrow Playing Cards (large index) by Celina Mankowski ᠌

We often get together with friends to play poker. And since the question of good cards comes up quite often, we decided to try to buy cards for testing at an overprice. So far, only positive emotions. Has some pros: On the plus side, I can say that the cards really give a different feeling from the game. And at the very beginning of the review, I would like to clarify that the cards are not made of classic PVC plastic, but of cellulose acetate, which is also used for the production of photo and video films. Firstly, they are softer than classic plastic cards. I would even say more elastic or something. Compared to Fournier or Bicycle karts, they are more flexible, lighter and softer. It's very tangible. Secondly, they really perfectly resist creases and dents. Thirdly, they shuffle delightfully, easily and naturally, as if they themselves climb into places. And there is good gliding on the table, which allows you to deal cards quickly. Fourthly, the cards are delivered in a cool plastic case, where they are subsequently stored. No crumbling cardboard boxes. I can’t say anything about abrasion resistance yet, because. just a couple of games were played, but judging by the quality, there is a good chance that they will live longer than classic plastic cards. Has some cons: Of the minuses, only the price tag. The quality there and all that is good, but damn the price tag is just hellish. And you can't buy one deck. Only a set of two decks. The second negative - the cards are smelly. Very strong and persistent polymer smell. And we are not familiar with. It smells not of plastic, not of some kind of synthetics or printing ink, but of an unfamiliar chymosa. Perhaps this is a tribute to the non-standard material of the cards. The smell of course slowly disappears, but I would like to speed up this process.
