The deck is made of cheap cardboard and the same plastic applied on top. If you want to feel cheap China with your hands, I recommend buying these cards.But in general, you can play with them and the cards are normal for your money.The design of these cards itself was invented in Russia in the mid-19th century; at the same time, they began to be produced in Russia - this design was invented by one artist of French-German origin (as can be seen from the design of these cards), this artist lived then in Russia and was a citizen of the Russian Empires.This artist graduated from the Russian Imperial Academy of Arts, so there is no doubt about his skill.

Very colorful cards added to give away package for fiesta theme rest stop on MS challenge walk.

If you're looking for bulk cards with pretty cool backs, these are great. If you're looking for super high-quality cards to play poker with every weekend, these probably aren't for you. These cards are fairly thick, have a slight gloss coating, and say they are blue core, though I didn't try tearing one to find out. They feel ok, but don't quite have the snap of your typical Bicycle cards. They also do not have a linen finish so they may tend to stick together a little when dealing and handling. The backs are gorgeous, but if you're playing a game with multiple decks where you have to differentiate the decks by their backs you might find it challenging to get two decks that look different enough. Many of the backs have similar color combinations and don't jump out as being different at a glance. If you're only using one deck though, they look great. Overall, this is pretty good deal for 24 decks of unique looking cards of average quality. Great for family game night, but not great for serious cards players. My wife is going to be using a bunch in her classroom for creating groups, so they're fine for that (and probably overkill, but she thinks they're pretty).
