    This pack of cards was amazing. Such a small box containing so many different games. There is a game for 1 called patience, a game for 2 called snap. You can have more players but it gets rather overwhelming. Then there are games for more players, although it’s possible to have too many players for some games. We took the cards on holiday and were pleased to see they work exactly same.
    One con of all pros is that there is no set of instructions or rules. This makes it easy for people to make up rules as they go.
    All in all, a fine purchase.

    These cards are thin and fit easily into the beech card holders I bought recently – excellent for our Canasta games + I recommend them with complete confidence.

    Grew up with Waddingtons cards, They are what they are. Playing cards for plaing cards.

    I guess you could if you are bored put one in the spokes of you bike with a clothes peg and pretend your push bike is a motorbike, But let’s be honest when you are 46 years old that a little bit socially unacceptable.

    But yes I bought these to play a wealth of card game with my partner and also my daughter who likes playing snap mostly. I will be teaching the wife to play sxxthead.

    Cheap and cheerful playing cards that are reasonably well made and appear to be quite robust and durable
    Yes, there are better quality playing cards but for the money Waddingtons are ok if you play card games, if you’re into tricks you may better quality
    A decent pack of cards that are good value for money and definitely worth trying

    dusk is my favourite time to embark
    going home causes me to become eager
    there’s nothing to do for the seeker
    television is okay but it’s not productive
    playing cards is fine though deductive
    I tend to travel to deep inside myself
    I must learn to inactively propel
    It seems they continue inventing things
    to hinder self-sufficiency without strings
    it’s not called boredom for this I fight

    there’s so much to say but I won’t attempt
    it’s not worth the repercussions for to kempt
    I can’t relieve but to notice on this page

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersThese are cheap and cheerful bridge-sized playing cards made by Waddingtons and can be found for cheap in a lot of UK stores. I bought these to add to my playing card collection as I had never picked them up before. To sum them up in a word, would be “average”. They aren’t bad by any means as they cost very little and do feature a linen finish, however they don’t slide over the top of each other like you would see happen with USPCC or Cartamundi cards. Fanning is fairly poor and I would be hesitant to use them with magic. I would however, recommend these to anyone looking for a good quality, low cost deck to play some card games with.

    Excellent cards, which deal nicely and have good clear faces. Downside is the packaging which was very difficult to undo. Ended up ripping the boxes apart as just could not get them open without doing so. I understand the need for tamper-proof packing for the serious players, but for mere mortals its nice to keep the cards in their box rather than held together with a rubber band!

    Like the cards but they are slightly smaller than previous cards we have. Packet tight so have to leave jokers out to get cards back in.

    This 52-card pack comprises 13 ranks in each of the four French suits: clubs (), diamonds (), hearts () and spades (), with reversible (double-headed) court cards (face cards). Each suit includes an Ace, a King, Queen and Jack, each depicted alongside a symbol of its suit; and numerals or pip cards from the Deuce (Two) to the Ten, with each card depicting that many symbols (pips) of its suit. Anywhere from one to six (most often two or three since the mid-20th century) Jokers, often distinguishable with one being more colourful than the other, are added to commercial decks, as some card games require these extra cards.

    They cards were purchased for a hospital visit however have been used on and off weekly over a 6 month period.
    The cards have lasted well and even seem to be 7 year old proof.

    I have purchased this brand before and never been disappointed.

    Having 2 colours makes for sorting after a double deck game a breeze.

    I usually hate buying new cards because it takes an age to get them to separate and shuffle well. These arrive like a pack of firm favourites right from the outset. They slide and shuffle brilliantly and to be honest I’m baffled at the price. You get two packs of brilliant quality cards for a few pounds. Well worth it! We’ve played with these every day since I bought them and they wear well too.

    This is the second set of these I’ve had, and both have been excellent quality. This is in serious contrast to many sets of cards you get, for example the one that came with the chips I got, which were so flimsy. Waddington’s just make cards as you would want them to be, nice and long-lasting and for a few quid excellent value. Very highly recommended from me.

    Haven’t found anything to complain about. Seeing many reviews saying they wear off or degrade quickly, I’m not seeing any of this on my cards and they’ve really been getting used a lot since they came. No complaints.

    Golden Review Award: 17 From Our UsersLets start with the cons: these took forever to arrive. Although I am prime member but these were very late to arrive so expect a delay when ordering them. Hence why 4 stars instead of 5.

    The cards are genuine as you can see from the pictures, they are sealed and have all information that prove genuineness.

    The cards quality is super decent, and they smell very nice. I probably spent 5 minutes smelling them when unpacking.

    Every pack comes with an extra card explaining Bridge rules and scoring, which I found very considerate.

    I hope they last, if not I will update this review to let you know.

    This is the best Waddingtons ‘1’ deck by a country mile. They are a slightly larger size than standard ‘1’ decks, in line with the 808 poker size of USPCC bikes. The card stock is also similar to USPCCs air cushion finish, but the cards are slightly more rigid and have slightly less glide. Very nice gilded tuck box.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersAh, these take me back to my childhood… Great to see them, same as they ever were! Good price for 2 decks, these feel fairly nice to play with (though the waddingtons texas hold em pack has a much nicer finish and the box is nicer too) and will do you ok til you buy some good quality plastic cards, which will last SOOOOOO much longer.
    Nice bit of traditional English nostalgia in these decks – thanks Waddingtons!

    Golden Review Award: 11 From Our UsersI’m left handed and I hate lazy playing cards that can’t be bothered to print the numbers and symbols in each of the 4 corners. Makes fanning out the cards a complete nightmare for a left hander! There is little worse in this world…..these cards are ACE…..see what I did there ;-)…..perfect for left and right handers alike and the linen finish gives them a top quality feel. They slide over each other nicely…ooooo I say…and with a nice look and feel. So good I’ve just ordered another pack. I don’t really need another pack so they’ll probably end up in a drawer never used, but sometimes me you just can’t help yourself!

    Ive had these cards now for a few months and use them now and again for card games. They look and feel nice but after a few months of use and shuffling the corners are starting to give and peel away. Probably normal.

    You can’t go wrong with a deck of playing cards.

    These came fast, unopened and unused, as we may expect.

    Unlike many other commodities over the years, these have not gone down in quality. Had a deck of cards from 20-odd years ago with the price tag on – 2.99! So at under half that price and including delivery this is a massive bargain.

    Golden Review Award: 5 From Our UsersPlayed with this brand of cards as a kid. Recently bought another brand and found the numbers were only in two corners which is annoying. So I bought these so we had one set at home and one set for travel.
    They’re still as good as I remember. They don’t stick together and have numbers in 4 corners. They’ve been durable so far too.
    No complaints whatsoever they’re doing the job. I wish I hadn’t bought the cheap version really so I guess the saying you ‘buy cheap buy twice’ is true.

    Golden Review Award: 14 From Our UsersMy son requested a pack of cards for Xmas. ( he did get other stuff!) I remember having these myself many moons ago and the quality seems the same. Waddingtons are now a German owned brand and made in Austria. The cards come as a twin pack and have that original silky linen texture and are great to use. I have noticed the thin edges are getting a bit grubby quickly but we are playing all over the place in between refilling the wood stove etc. We are re-discovering card games as a family and I hope to sell the telly soon!

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersI had set low standards for these when i purchased them. Little did i know that i had purchased cards that were both: durable, well-presented (The linen finish is appealing to the eye, and gives the cards an expensive aesthetic.) making them excellent for Poker, Blackjack and Solitaire (I’m sure they are applicable to various other card games). I highly recommend these over most expensive cards.

  69. AzucenaClaflin says:

    Bought these directly from Amazon. Pack came with the hologram seal. These cards are of excellent quality. The cardstock is just right – not too flexible, not to stiff, producing that nice “snapping” sound on the table while maintaining the cards intact after a riffle shuffle. The linen finish is excellent, and it doesn’t seem to be of the kind that gets sticky after a few plays. I wish the numbers were larger and bolder though.

    Golden Review Award: 5 From Our UsersWe play whist every Friday night with my Dad and my sister and we have been through several makes of cards in the last several years searching for the best quality, but we keep returning to Waddington’s, the cards of our youth. We have been caught out with cards that you can see through, cards that are just slightly too small and cards that have large indexes which can’t be seen when holding 13 cards in your hand. So we go back to these Waddingtons. They are so shiny and lovely when new, fit your hand so perfectly and are neither see through nor impossible to see, can be wiped a bit as they get older and stickier and are perfect for snap and teaching small kids new games at the end of their life. The only ones I will buy now, I can recommend them.

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersBought these to try and do some card tricks (which are coming along quite nicely) And they’re really good. The linen finish gives them a great look and feel and they’re very smooth for shuffling or slight of hand.

    What makes them really useful (especially for tricks) is that the cards return to being flat after being bent for shuffling or for any other reason. Also the edges do not fray so the cards stay crisp and fresh looking for longer.

    The one thing you have to remember (that I did not notice) is that THE COLOUR MAY VARY!! It says it in the title but I was stupid enough to read straight over it. I got a blue back which was not the colour I thought I was going to get but I don’t care too much. It doesn’t make any difference to me. If it does to you…well I’d get another pack or just get it from a shop.

    Finally, I have to say THE PRICE IS AMAZING! Great value and it will last you for a long time whether you’re going to use them for tricks or games. Enjoy!
