 Eco Disaster September 4, 2010

Unfortunately, the dull green print on these cards was nearly indistinguishable from the black. Two of the five people who tried to play cards with them couldn't use them because of this. "Eco" is not an improvement when the quality suffers. Sadly, these "eco" cards are heading toward the landfill.
 A steal of a sale, with great service, too! September 1, 2010
These special eco-friendly cards actually cost less than the white-washed, monotone-designed budget packs, first of all. And then when they mistakenly sent the wrong number of items, not a day after my email to the sender had they already shipped off the rest! When the correction arrived just a few days later, the sender included a surprise: two extra packs of colored playing cards in sincere apology :)
Okay, it sounds too sickly sweet to be true, but you get the idea! (...Remember when writers in like the sixties or something considered writing like that so.. edgy! :P )

I really wanted to like these cards but I can barely use them. I didn't realize that the red suited cards didn't use any red ink. Nothing natural available I suppose. So all the red suited cards use an olive drab color for the diamonds/hearts. It makes it fairly difficult to quickly identify the card suit. Not a huge problem...but quite annoying. Also the face cards only use 4 ink colors that are natural looking as well. Besides the standard black and olive drab for the red/black suits, there is a lighter shade of green for shadowing, and a light brown that is used where yellow or gold is traditionally used. I would have really wanted to see some RED pips at least on the card. The green shade is fairly hard to distinguish from black in different lighting conditions.
As far as the feel, they feel like standard Bicycle cards...but I'm not a card master magician or anything.
So they'll serve their purpose but I'll probably only end up using them for novelty use or drinking games :-)...say to add in an extra trick to the game...drink every time you mistake a card suit lol. And as soon as they get enough beer or other beverages spilled on them, into the recycling bin they'll go.
Would I buy them again? Nope. Not at all.
