DA VINCI Ruote, Italian 100% Plastic Playing Cards, 2-Deck Poker Size Set, Jumbo Index w/Hard Shell Case and 2 Cut Cards

These are my first sets of plastic cards, and I adore them. I got a hair to get better playing cards after my young boys wanted a deck of cards and I picked up your basic plastic coated paper Bicycle deck for like $5. That deck showed significant wear after like 1 week! So I wanted to get something better, and arrived at these awesome decks. I did a TON of research prior to buying these. I read user reviews on Amazon, I read opinion threads in card playing forums and Reddit’s, and I read reviews on sites dedicated to reviewing decks of playing cards. The brands that consistently arose as quality plastic cards were Copag, KEM, Fournier, Dal Negro, and Modiano. Da Vinci, I learned, are made by Modiano. These specific sets of Da Vinci’s are apparently the exact same thing as Modiano Bike Trophy Jumbo - Red and Blue. After research, it came down to Copag and these for me, and I settled on these solely because I discovered a friend had Copags - I figured I could always check those out and compare. I couldn’t be happier with the decision. The sets come in a sturdy plastic case that houses both decks, along with 1 red cut card and 1 black cut card. Each deck has 2 jokers, as well as a card with instructions on ordering individual replacement cards should the need arise. If you are new to plastic playing cards, they do have a different feel and they handle differently than the paper coated plastic you’re likely accustomed to. But these decks have a sort of a semi rough finish to them that make them easier to handle and shuffle. The card face designs are really nice, from the face cards to the numbered cards offset by a tan or beige rectangular box surrounding the pips. The only negative I have for these decks is the joker design. I’m just not a fan of the artwork, but it’s a very small nitpick. I’m certain there are card authorities out there, and I’m not one of them. I’m just average joe card playing guy who wanted something better than paper coated plastic. If that sounds like you, and you’re reading and researching, do not hesitate to purchase these cards. They are of high quality, will last infinitely longer than normal cards, and they look and feel great!

We've been using these cards for about eight years, replacing them about every four years just because we love that brand new feel. These are orders of magnitude better than your regular Bicycle playing cards. I can't even touch those anymore. Love the large index, and that you can wipe them clean.HOWEVER, the Da Vinci website still says "Comes with a lifetime replacement card warranty for lost cards and cards that you damage during game play," but this simply isn't true. We somehow lost our six of spades and it's $1.50 to replace it, not free. It's not a dealbreaker, but don't advertise something you don't intend to honor. (Copag brand cards still replaces lost cards for free)

I have tried the two other major brands of cards and found that these are much better than the rest. The feel of them is softer and definitely more flexible and easy to shuffle.Update to my Review,Since my first review I have purchased around 12 or so of these decks. I belong to a group of 20 guys that play for medium stakes poker (5/10 ante no limit). I used to buy the other famous brand "C---G" and there is no comparison. These are a slightly thinner and more flexible card. They do not chip nor crack like their competitors cards. The only problem that I have is that the ink starts to wear thin after around a month of play (we play a 4 to 5 times a week for about 8-10 hours at a time).All I can say is that if you are looking for the BEST card you can play is to buy these. Don't pay more or less, these are for you.I was "NOT" paid or given any discount for my review.

I originally purchased the cards because they were plastic and cheaper than Copaq's. However, after playing with them for several weeks in my poker league I have found them to be very sturdy and resistant to bends. We do self deal and they are easier to deal from the end of the table and do not flip over like other plastic cards. I highly recommend them. The next time I buy cards it will be the Da Vinci Itilian cards.

I have long history with paper, KEM, and COPAQ playing cards, and up to this point, I have ordered COPAQ exclusively. I decided to give these Da Vinci's a try due to the lower cost, and for the most part, I have not been disappointed.The cards come in a nice hard plastic case, and include two jokers for each deck, a cut card for each deck, and a reorder card for damaged or lost cards. Excellent.Handling the cards, I found them somewhat stiffer than I am used to with my COPAQ's, but that may loosen up in time. They also seem to be somewhat thicker than other cards, and as result have the feeling of a hard edge in hand while dealing. Both of these issues may resolve with time and use. It remains to be seen.Shuffling was a little stiff, but not a problem. Riffling half to half worked well.Overall, I'm happy with the cards, and if they loosen up with use, they may become my standard. The back design is really nice, and the faces are clear and appropriately poker jumbo.Recommended, especially at the great price!

These cards are so easy to shuffle no matter how much you use and so easy to clean!

I had a poker night with friends and I wanted to go ahead and buy my own set of cards for future poker nights. Let me just say, these cards are pretty awesome. The slide so easily on the poker table. They shuffle nicely. However, they can feel slippery when you start off. I am not a huge poker fanatic so I couldn’t give you a super detailed review about cards. If you’re looking for cards to use with friends or a crowd of people, I highly recommend these. The case they come in is convenient as well.
