KEM Arrow Black and Gold Poker Size Standard Index Playing Cards

These were pretty disappointing. Within a few nights of play these developed a few bent cards that were distinguishable from the others in the deck. Pretty hard to use them if everyone knows what they are.

I don't know if there's a way to straighten them out, but I'm pretty dissatisfied with cards that will last "forever" that are bent.

I bought these and a set of Copags. Both are great, but I like these better - worth the small price difference.
For our neighborhood game folks can now "bend and peek" without worrying about ruining the cards. Dealing is a breeze because the cards glide across the felt.
Two games in and they have held up nicely.

I've played with KEM cards at a friends house before so I am used to these cards. Generally I like them a lot but the deck I bought came with seven noticeably miscut cards. They were miscut to the point it was noticeable across the table.

I've emailed US Playing cards three time trying to get some kind of resolution on a replacement deck or cards but they have yet to respond to any email I sent them. There is no phone number to contact them only an email which evidently no one responds to. The guarantee on their website lists every brand they make except KEM so if your deck is faulty, let the buyer beware.

Althought the KEM cards are very attractive (black and gold), but they do bend easily. I've played with COPAG cards that have held up better after a year's worth of play than I got with these KEM cards have after 2 weeks. I don't know if it's this run of KEM cards, but I'll stick with COPAG from now on.

I've found no downsides to owning these cards and using them to host a home poker tournament. They're slick, slide really well, and definitely wear much less than paper cards. The plastic characteristic of this card has a side-effect that they smell a little funny, or so I'm told. I have trouble smelling it, but my friends with keen noses swear to it. Not a problem worth ignoring their excellent quality. This is the Ferrari of poker cards. Worth the money, indeed! They'll get you "Ooh's" and "Aaah's" for sure.
