Them are some good looking cards!

Wow, I'm impressed.  So many manufacturers are rushing to come up with something new, but most have only achieved "different".  Copag has clearly put a lot of thought into these.

They're REALLY nice. My favourites so far as far as looks are concerned are the Copags EPOC. These could end up high on that list.

Nice to see something different, but those are the most God-forsaken, ugly cards I've seen in a LONG time.

I'm going to have to disagree. I kind of like them in a I have been drinking all day kind of way.

I've had a few beers.  Love the backs.  The faces are "God-forsaken."  The faces make Desjgn look normal.  Unholy.  Just IMHO FWIW YMMV LOLZ FU.

Darn you to heck, Florida.  I just cleaned this monitor.

hmmmmm, crazy I know, but I still like them........sober and all.

If their not priced to crazy, I will probably pick up a bridge size setup.

I am with A5S on this. Those cards really don't do anything for me...and I am a huge Copag fan.

Any back that has a "right side up" and and "upside down" just irks me to no end. If the cards are going to be branded then I'd prefer them to be two logos at either end like casino cards.

And monochrome faces on the paint cards? That just looks cheap to me. I think that the face cards could have been really interesting to redo them in an artistic style but they still need to be functional. I wonder how different the J and K cards look from the Q.

I know some players like to check their hole cards by looking at the edge first and changing the layout of the pips will interfere with players who want to do that.

And even for the recreational player who would want to use them for playing other games like Gin or Hearts, the oversized ranks will mean they will have to fan out their cards more than normal.

Disappointing.

I'm fine with my 1546 R/B setups but I would be all over picking up a setup of cards that are well designed which include being sharp looking AND fully functional for playing poker which includes bing very legible from a distance.
