Bicycle Mini Decks Playing Cards - Single Deck - (Color May Vary) - Smaller Than Traditional Deck

These mini playing cards are terrific! I’ve used them nearly every day since I got them months ago. They’re awesome for tight spaces, yet still easy to shuffle. The quality is just like the bicycle brand you’d buy in a grocery or drugstore. I highly recommend them!

Excellent size for easy use, to keep w/ you, & to use w/small tables that regular cards are too big to play on. I’m able to shuffle them and if they were any smaller @ all, I couldn’t shuffle. I looked for the largest mini’s I could find just so I could shuffle them, & these were the largest mini’s. Very easy for children to work with these cards w/ their small hands too. But I got these for ME, not kids. They have a coating just like good regular decks & are same thickness as regular cards too. These should last just as long as any good regular size playing cards, & are exactly the same other than smaller. The more I break them in, the easier & faster I can shuffle them too despite their small size. These are just what I wanted! No disappointments at all. I even got a 2nd deck of these for dbl deck card games or for 1 @ home & 1 in glovebox to keep w/ me wherever I might be & can use them for solitaire games to pass time while waiting for someone or @ a friend’s house for some good card games w/ someone else. You won’t be embarrassed to pull this little deck out & use it!

just like a full size deck. they are just as durable as a regular size deck -- will be using them for crafting

Ordered 4 packs, got 4 blue packs.For some context:I ordered two packs for the very first time just a few weeks earlier, and I got one blue, one red. I gave those two packs to my niece and decided to order 4 more packs, expecting that I would get 2 red and 2 blue, but that was not the case. What a bummer.The card quality is not great and deck barely fits (too snugly) inside the box, which is a huge pain, but they were relatively inexpensive, so I guess I can't complain too much. I mainly just don't appreciate the inconsistency of card back color variety. Why not make a color option button for red and blue??

I feel I must review these deck accurately, because some reviews claim these cards are exactly the same quality as a standard deck of Bicycle cards, which they are NOT. Compared to an older deck of Minis I own, the printing is more like that of the standard cards, which is an improvement. However, the finish on these cards is a simple gloss finish, not unlike what you might find on a cereal box. Definitely NOT the same air cushion finish that is on the standard cards. Furthermore, the cut on the cards is much less precise than that on the standard cards. These decks are imported and distributed by the International Playing Card Co., in Canada and are manufactured in China, under license from the United States Playing Card Co.As of this writing, these cards sold for approximately $2 a pack, so I feel they are a good value for the price, but would be pleased if they were manufactured more like the standard cards. In fact, I would pay a bit more for them if they were.

Long ago, I used to play cards, and in my purse or pack I always had a miniature deck. Somehow or other the mini decks got lost (or are in unopened boxes from moving), so I decided to get 3 decks to replace them. One for purse, one for pack, and one to put in a drawer in the house for use during this lockdown.I love them. They are traditional bicycle cards, and a bit stiff to easily shuffle like a pro. But, they do shuffle! I like having something small for when only a small surface is available on which to play solitaire or poker or whatever game you prefer. They are perfect!!! They would make wonderful party favors or prizes at children's birthday parties. If you prefer something unsweetened to give out at Halloween, these would make kids happy, and their parents too. Plus, they will last longer than other kinds of treats, and you can develop skill at many games of cards. They are fun to play with. :-D

We picked these up for a type of contract rummy we play in my family. It requires two decks, including jokers. One of the melds is two sets of 5 of a kind, so when you have multiple people playing, that can take a while to get, and you end up with a lot of cards in your hand. Some people have trouble holding that many, so I thought I'd try a smaller deck to make it easier.It is a little easier to hold more cards, since they're smaller, easier to hold that many. But it's also a bit more difficult pulling cards out since they're so small, but even that isn't the worst part.Shuffling these small decks, if you are playing a game with multiple decks, is a pain. It's just a little tough with a normal single deck, since theyr'e so short it's tough to get a good bend like you can with larger cards, and when you have that second deck included, it's nearly impossible.But if you're playing something with a single deck, this will work alright.

I was expecting something smaller but this perfect, it measures about half a normal deck, it's so awesome from bicycle, that I don't even want to break the seal.
