Okay am very new at this hand and foot card game. Friends said to order six decks of same color. Are these bridge size cards?

cards are regular size and have the point marked on the card also for scoring purposes. you can get large or regular print. there are 2 decks per box and you will need 6 decks to play hand/foot canasta, oh, the decks come with instructions and that helps a lot. have fun!!!!

Some of the answers from others are incorrect and confusing. These are poker size cards, as stated in the description. They are NOT bridge size cards. The back of the deck is red but the faces of the cards are red and black matching their corresponding suit. The description and picture both illustrate these have standard size indexes.

Yes, these cards are perfect for any kind of canasta (they are bridge-sized). In this box comes two decks which are both red in color.

I believe they are all unique. Opened 1 of the 2 packs (each has 50) played a cover all game and only had 1 winner. The only thing I can think of, if you have more than the 100 card set there may be an issue of duplicates. I think they are a great card set, I'm sure they will be around for a long time. Hope that helps

That sounds about right. They are a little small but they don't seem to bother me that much. I suppose that full size cards might be better for shuffling and holding, but it's a large board and it takes quite a bit of room for the entire set-up, so anything that is smaller probably helps for that. It doesn't seem to be that big of deal in my opinion.

Yes, there are 2 jokers per deck. Everything on the face of each card is jumbo (numbers, letters, suit graphics)

They may be a tiny bit larger than regular cards, but they fit into a card shuffler great. We play a game that uses 6 decks of these cards and we have a card shuffler that will do them all at the same time. The size on the box says Jumbo faces, standard size. We also use them to play bridge and hand shuffle them. Hope this helps.

The Dominion cards are slightly different in size (than regular CCG cards, for example, Magic cards). But they are smaller in width, and not too long, so they still fit in a standard card sleeve. I have seen players using the "penny sleeves," and they seemed to work fine. FYI, I also created "player aids," listing each card, its cost and benefits, by grouping. So when we play with "Big Money," for example, and not everyone is sitting close enough to the Supply Card stacks to read them easily, they have a guide in front of them to plan their purchases. Seems to work pretty well, and every player that has used them praised the tool. The Dominion cards are slightly different in size (than regular CCG cards, for example, Magic cards).

Yes - There are six red and six blue. The beautiful playing cards were not quite large enough. I love the cards, but I need to re-order the "Super Jumbo Cards" for my mother. I will do it promptly.

We don't do anything with the jokers. We leave them out. As for the cards, if we have 4 or less people we use only 1 deck. 5 or more we use both decks. If you were to use 2 decks for 4 or less people your game would be done in about 5 minutes. It is a fun game. Hope this is helpful.

There is not a lot of shuffling in this game. The cards are bonuses and modifiers to the game rather than the main focus. However, as with any card game sleeves can be a good way to protect the cards from damage. Standard ones will work fine.And the game is correct on the number of cards. A normal game will not use all of them. Many cards are for a specific number of players or a certain level of player. most likely less than 125 will be used in any one game.

No, these are one deck. If you want three decks, a good bargain are these on Amazon: Easy Read Playing Cards - Set of 3 by DBROTH which are actually sold by Miles Kimball.com. If you go to Miles Kimball.com you can get one deck for $4.99 plus shipping. If you go to Talor Gifts, you can get 2 decks of cards and 2 holders for $9.98 + shipping. The holders work great for people who have had a stroke.The best buy is the one I mentioned above, Amazon, which I have also bought, the Easy Read Playing Cards - Set of 3 by DBROTH for $4.99 + $2.00 shipping. Good to keep them on hand when they get too old. No, these are one deck.

No the cards are small, however we adults ( with large hands) have had little trouble playing the game! Since there are a lot of cards, big ones might mean the need for a bigger playing surface. We play on a card table.

Each comes in its own box. I ordered 6 decks. They are very good cards. Just like the ones you would buy in the store but a lot cheaper. We have a game that takes 6 decks and have played with them many times and they are holding up real well.

I had 360 unique cards in my pack. Duplicates were pretty uneven, got 43 of the same card, 37 of another, and few others in the high 20s. I ended up with about 215 cards that were duplicates beyond the 4th (generally useless unless you are too lazy to swap out cards to another deck when needed). Whether or not the cards were being hand sorted to have a max of 4 duplicates in the past or not doesn't matter, it appears that its not the case now.

When you say 20 cards, does this mean two sets of the same? Are there duplicate cards? I don't want to winners.

It's really meant for two players. I think there are instructions for three, but it is such a fast game that I think with four players there would be too much crashing of hands as players try to get their cards down. The result might quickly be bent, ripped and otherwise worse for wear cards. However, the idea of the game would certainly support four players and then I think two decks would make it more enjoyable. And last a minute or so longer!

These are normal playing cards. You can buy two decks of regular playing cards and you should be all set.
