   This is my first set of plastic cards. I play a lot of poker and decided to quit wasting my money on paper cards. I ordered the cards and one of the decks had a cut in the side of the 6 of spades, making that deck unusable. I contacted the seller (The Game Preserve) and they promptly sent me a new set and a postage-paid return envelope. Great service!

   The feel of the cards is good, not as slippery as some plastic decks can be. The box the cards come in leaves a little to be desired. The box does not snap shut, so if it falls over, you’ll be playing 52 pickup. There is also not a clip or something in the middle to keep the top few cards in each deck from moving around (Copag cards have this.) For $25 you’d think a little nicer box would be in order.

   I’m giving the product 4/5 stars, it loses a star because of the packaging. The kidzgeek.com 3rd Party Seller (The Game Preserve) gets 5 stars though. 🙂

   Yes, these are expensive playing cards. They are, however, the very best money can buy, and in the time it takes you to wear out a pack of these, you will have gone through eight or ten packs of Bees or Bikes. Cellulose acetate is an incredibly hard-wearing material, and yet still generous in flex and rebound, creating a pleasant shuffle while maintaining a new feel for far longer than traditional plastic-coated cardstock.

   I’ve owned both KEM and Copag Cards (and played with other top end cards) and these are the best I’ve used. They have a great hand feel, shuffle beautifully and easily, deal without sticking together, slide across the felt beautifully, and they hold up to use exceptionally well. We’ve got one player in our home game who is so hard on cards that we use his last name as a verb when cards are damaged through misuse – even he has yet to take one of these KEMs out of commission. The price might be a turn off for people used to paper Bicycles, but there’s no comparison. The difference in feel alone would be worth the price, the fact that a deck will last years of weekly poker games without losing their crisp feel makes them a bargain.

   Over the years of playing poker and card games I have bought many top brands. Usually the cards wear out from normal wear and tear. I haven’t been playing as much and these cards were only used a handful of times but are now trash. I have no idea what happened but they are covered in tiny cracks, on both sides, in like a spider web. They stick together so much that shuffling and dealing is difficult. I stored them with all other cards etc, and have never seen anything like this. The jokers, that have been used a couple times don’t have the cracks. I am going to go back to the other brand and not waste my money here again.

   THE BEST CARDS OF ALL TIME!! I absolutely love Kem cards! they’re the thickest heaviest and best shuffling cards I’ve come across and they hold up great! I’m the amount of time my single setup has lasted I’ve gone through several other sets of cards and these have never faded.
   Some dealers have said they’re too bendy but personally I like the amount of flexibility when dealing.
   They’re not cheap but definitely worth the quality of you need a workhorse deck that will see lots of play. These have been old faithful at my local game.

   I’m a college student who enjoys playing hold-em with my friends. These are the easiest cards to use. My friend has had a hard time shuffling but after a few tries he has been able to hold his own when its his turn to deal. Definitely not what i had expected at all, but these far exceed my expectations. The cards are a lot more flexible than i would have imagined. they weigh a lot more than i had expected but the cards seem thin and spring back when you leave it be. They are very smooth sliding across each-other but are easy to grip. Unfortunately for KEM i won’t probably buy another deck from them, i will probably be using this setup for many games to come. This is probably the reason for the expensive price, they are a company and need to survive. Bicycle cards wear out easily and there will always be another poor sap who buys many decks often, bicycle cards will always have repeat buyers because their cards don’t hold up, but KEM expects the decks to last for a while and therefore they don’t have as much of a repeat buyer. Everybody has to make their money somehow and they provide a great product so i support them.

   This is my second set of these cards. The first set lasted 20 years. No exaggeration. After 20 years a few cards started to get brittle and break. Very durable if taken care of. Simply a great set of cards. Even the f they only lasted 5 years I definitely buy again. Only thing to note, they are plastic so they are a bit slippery. That’s easy to get used to.
