KEM Jacquard Playing Cards: 2-Deck Set Green/Burg (Bridge - Narrow)

I really like these cards. I don't like them quite as much as Copag cards which are much cheaper which is why I rated 4 stars on value. I bought these cards to play poker with. At my work we use Copag but I wanted to try some Kem cards.The colors are very dark on the cards. I got green and burgundy but the greens like very dark, almost a black. The burgundy are also dark but the color shows a little better.

I play a fair amount of cards, and have experimented with many different decks. Although I thought the Kem cards were OK, I wouldn't recommend them.In comparison to other plastic playing cards, Kem cards are expensive. For example, Kem cards are usually roughly twice as expensive as Copags. In my experience, Kem cards also don't last any longer than other brands of plastic playing cards, e.g., Copags, Modianos, Da Vinci, Bicycle Prestige, etc. The Kem cards last far longer than paper cards, but don't seem to be any more durable than other plastic decks. In addition, although this is to a degree subjective, I don't find Kem cards more satisfying to shuffle than other plastic decks. As a result, I don't think Kem cards are a very good value.One final note - I think the colors seem more dull on the "jacquard" cards as compared to other Kem decks, but this is a purely aesthetic issue.

I bought these cards in December 2019: one set for myself and a few as gifts, but I only got to open/play with my set of cards at the beginning of April 2020. I always bought KEM cards for their quality and durability. To my surprise, this time, my set had many faded cards and one card with a broken tip. Upon contacting the seller at the beginning of April (when I discovered about the defective cards) and exchanging more than 10 messages back and forth with them, they gave me hope when they said: "Please mention which cards are damaged including color and we will ship only cards. ". However, after I mentioned which cards were defective (39 of them, that is, 37.5% of occurrence), they finally said "its not our product. you can complain directly at Kem website.". Now I am stuck with a defective set of cards and a seller that does not have any quality control measures before shipping products and does not have proper customer service either. BEWARE and STAY AWAY! Spend a little more but buy it directly from the KEM website or anywhere else than CollectorsPlayingCards if you want to avoid unnecessary headaches.

I originally had these when I was small. My grandparents had these to play cards when their friends would come over. Quality cards!

We play a lot of cards as a family, so these cards get a great deal of use. One of our favorite games is Canasta which requires 2 decks, so the cards have to be easy to shuffle 2 decks at a time and not become bent, cracked or damaged at the corners. Ken cards fit the bill and are really worth the extra money!

I have Copag, and DaVinci cards, but the Kem's are still the best. The snap and feel of paper... The durability. I don't know the difference between PVC and Cellulose Acetate, except to say that Kem Cards made with Cellulose Acetate are really easy to shuffle and deal. They will last forever, and they won't fade on the faces like the Modiano and Copag cards will.Buy these for years of card playing. They cost more, but the money is worth it!

I’m really disappointed with KEM!! I gave them to my father in low as a gift, just because he loves playing cards!!! When the cards arrived in Brazil, and we started to play, I’ve been noticed that the numbers are in different colors!! I’m really frustrated with the quality of cards!!! That’s it! I’m still believe at amazon!!!

I wasn't expecting such smooth curvature, however when shuffling I'm aware of how I have to actually pay attention to my hands dexterity. Not really anything against the product, just unexpected adjustment.

KEM playing cards are the best, but be sure to buy the more expensive set as the cheaper ones are longlasting, but thick and rough and very difficult to deal. Once you have paid top price then you have an excellent set. This is my second set, the first one lasted 15 years and I play 5 times/week! I am sure I will not be needing another set until 2028. Go for it.

I do find these cards too thin, nice though they be.

Delighted

I was searching around for a new deck of cards. I always remembered as youngster my parents playing cards once a week with friends. Poker, Bridge, Canasta. Always with KEM cards. Beautifully made cards in a handsome box. So I decided to splurge on a box at Amazon.What arrived was a poor, cheap, nasty looking imitation.An insult to KEM and a poor mark against Amazon for selling such garbage.

En definitiva no hay mejor lugar en México donde comprar cartas de juego KEM, en la mayoría de los lugares piden fortunas por ellas; si bien la calidad ha bajado con los años, siguen siendo las mejores.
