"THINK BIG" PLAYING CARDS

The black core paper has a nice weight and shuffle to it, and the vegetable-based inks give the cards a really deep matte finish. The hard case means I can toss them in my bag without worrying. Only 500 made, so I'm glad I grabbed one.

Didn't expect the case to feel this solid for a 500-deck run — the magnetic close snaps shut like it costs more than it did. Cards themselves handle beautifully right out of the box, no break-in needed.

The black core stock feels noticeably sturdier than my old deck, and they shuffle smooth right out of the tin case. Vegetable-based inks on that deep black look great under low light during late-night poker with friends.
