My regular players immediately noticed I had introduced some new cards. They initially thought they were dealing 2 at a time on a few occasions, but by mid game they were all appreciating the feel, texture and thickness of these decks. I personally rate them at about a 4.5 star, my 7 player table rated them at a 5 out of 5. The cards I have to compare to are Copag. Kem and "Bullets". These are stiffer/thicker than all of those... my Kems can sometimes feel floppy and the Copags are wearing out after several years of service.
