This is one of the best decks I've had.First I gotta say that the design is beautiful, the back of the cards and the golden texture are gorgeous.Usually metalic cards interfere a little bit with the reading cause the images are not easy to read that way, but this doesnt happen much with this deck. I recommend reading them under a cool light tho, for more clarity.The size is perfect, not to small not too big. They shuffle like a dream! So satisfying! But they can be a little slippery depending on how you're shuffling.It came with a little manual with basic card meanings.They also came in a little box that was also beautiful, but unfortunately it came broken. It's a shame cause it looked like worth keeping.*These cards will last forever.*The images are beautiful and make for a fascinating lay out.*The quality of the cards as far as durability can't be beat.*They have an unusual feel to them because of the plastic butit becomes second nature after a few days.*Excellent set, good purchase.
