DA VINCI Sienna - Italian 100% Plastic Playing Cards

Very durable. Easy to shuffle. However, very slippery on table surface when new. Maybe they will become less so over time.

These are high quality cards. I always bought another brand of plastic playing cards that were twice the cost of these. Never again. The patterns are lovely, and if you lose a card you are able to easily reorder the card so your deck is complete.Make a wonderful hostess gift too.

I loved these until I tried Copag and Fournier. They felt great, but the others are thinner and easier to shuffle. Though these are not difficult. They are a little less flexible than the others. Some people may prefer that. They are also rather slippery, but that is true for the others also. My Fournier are the least slippery of the three brands I have. Overall, very good cards.

These are great. Okay, so it took a few times to get used to the slipperier nature of the cards....mainly while shuffling...but I very quickly got over that. And now anything else is a step down. My one remaining complaint is that for social Bridge, where you place your tricks in little piles of 4, they tend to slide off each other and you end up with just a bunch of cards rather than neat piles, making it sometimes difficult to keep track of your tricks. I'm learning to live with that rather than go back to non-plastic cards. I also like the Gemaco 100% plastic, but I tend to have a slight preference for the Da Vinci's,, both because of the more distinguishable patterns and because they seem to have a more textured feel to them. These are high-quality 100% plastic cards and, as far as I'm concerned, that's definitely the way to go.

I bought these cards just under 3 years ago and he ONLY thing I do is play solitaire with them about 3 times a week on average. By the middle of last year the color on the cards had started to wear off and it is really bad now to the point I have started using the other deck that came in the 2 pack. I like the cards themselves and the feel of them, especially in shuffling them. I have always used KEM plastic cards the last 40 years of my life and the deck I had back then in my first purchase of them which has been well used over the years is still in great shape with good color on the cards. Not sure why my DaVinci cards are not up to their LIFE TIME WARRANTY!!! I think they owe me a new deck as something must have happened in production to make the color wear off so easily.

Cards themselves appear durable, but the faces are not centered. When you hold the cards in your hand, some cards will have numbers/letters farther from the edge than other cards. When you look at them together, they look yucky! I purchased three sets (three different product names, all from Da Vinci) and they all all have the problem to some extent!!

I purchased this set on March,2 014. I made a mistake to review these cards as durable and great when I first bought them, but I am here to change my review. My husband and I play canasta games three to four times a week. The ink has faded so drastically on these cards!!! I tried to complain and replace these cards, but accourding to Amazon my exchange or returned expired on April. I will NOT recomend these cards.

These are nice cards. But the plastic coating is very slippery and they are hard to shuffle.
