Korean Joseon Dynasty Folk Art Premium Playing Cards - Unique Poker Deck for Adults & Kids - Perfect for Game Nights, Gifts & Collectors

What an absolutely lovely deck of cards. The package came in good condition, and the product itself was undamaged. They're much sturdy than they seem at first glance. Great shuffle capability. The plastic also has a nice grain to it so the cards don't stick. I'm a rather careful person, so all of my things last a long time. Even stuff people think isn't durable, so I'm sorry I can't really comment on how well they'll hold up over time. I would definitely recommend these. I was originally going to pick up a cheap pack of Bicycle cards to play games at home with, but these were so much cooler.As an art lover, I really appreciated the use of minhwa art. It's not something you see everyday on a pack of cards. The fun part about minhwa art is that it's Korean folk art that features images that have a very particular symbolic meaning. In this case, for blessings of good fortune, fertility, happiness, etc. So in a way, whomever came up with this idea put in a nice little dual meaning to every game played. In a way, the artist is wishing for you to be well. Which I think is a lovely little story to tell if you're gifting these to someone. It makes giving a gift like a pack of cards into something a bit more meaningful because you can share some history and learn some new things about art.I also went looking to see if other retailers sell similar cards because I wanted to see just how unique this design was. So far I can't find anything. To me, these seem like a neat little gem to pick up if you're a collector.A big thanks to the company for providing these. They're now my first pack of cards in my own collection. I just thought they were so cool, I decided I wanted to find more just like them. ^_^Bought for a gift. He loved them.no tuck case, need to also acquire a plastic card case to "hold" the deck.Beautiful deck of cards. Each has a different image on the face. Unfortunately they aren't wrapped in cellophane, so that when Amazon slaps their sticker on it it's applied directly to the box making removing the sticker a risky proposition if you wish to preserve the box.I wish, the box that it came in was more durable. It was difficult to take out of the box and it tore. The price was affordable. The cards were beautiful.Beautiful cards. Each card has a unique full color illustration. The cards feel good and play well - they slide and fan and shuffle just as you would hope.Gifted to my mom for the holidays, she loves them. Beautiful images on the cards themselves but unlike a lot of other painted cards the numbers are super easy to read.These are beautiful and ornate and elevate any card game. Love them. Gifted them to my grandma for Christmas and she loved them too!They look even better in person and the cards are sturdy.
