Review on Mexican Playing Cards Spanish Faisan by Keith Wolff

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Very good quality and feel - 100% plastic

ref=cm_cr_srp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8) and I liked them so much I decided to get the blue forecastle deck too. As is usual with Spanish playing cards, there are only 40 cards in a deck. There are numbers 1-7 and three face cards [jack (10), horseman (11), king (12)] for each of the four suits (clubs, cups, swords, coins). Here is a review I wrote for the red stern deck. This applies equally to this seller's blue back deck. My brother-in-law is from Chile and taught us how to play escoba (broom) with a deck of cards he brought with him. These are the paper products you can get for $1 that another reviewer mentioned. They were brand new when it got here and we've only used them 4 or 5 times, but I've noticed that they're already peeling and wearing out. Try this brand. They are actually made by Cartamundi in Mexico and are 100% plastic. They appear to be of good quality, are smooth to the touch and have an attractive pattern. We used them to play Escoba last night and my brother in law said he liked the feel and thought they were a lot better quality than the paper cards he brought. They are supplied in a hard plastic case with a cardboard insert.
