Always good to have a deck of poker cards handy

Poker cards are still one of the easiest and most useful pieces of equipment to have on hand if you want to spice up a holiday or a get-together with friends. Poker is one of the most popular card games today, a shared passion that can keep larger groups together for years. It has a huge culture around the world and its origins are still debated, but it's clear that it was played in Persia.

Poker cards for beginners and pros

If you're a layman looking at poker cards, it may not be clear what makes one deck more powerful than another. The same cards serve the same purpose, and the game play doesn't depend on it. It is true that any poker card can perform its function, the question is whether it is needed for a holiday on the waterfront, a weekly poker party in the living room, or a professional level high stakes tournament. The most important difference is the material of the cards. In our webshop, we offer only higher quality types than simple paper cards, which are able to withstand external influences such as moisture, creasing or abrasion to a greater or lesser extent. The only difference is to what extent. The cheaper and simpler poker cards also have a plastic coating that results in a much more durable finish, with reinforced card edges. Those in the slightly more expensive category are made from 100% plastic cellulose acetate, which means they don't wear or crack, and are also highly water resistant. And as for the poker card front, legibility is key so that players seated anywhere at the table can tell what colours and numbers have been dealt. And the premium-quality pieces available in our range not only retain their consistency, but also their legibility, even after long-term, regular use.
