BicycleMini Decks Playing Cards - Single Deck - (Color May Vary) - Smaller Than Traditional Deck

These mini playing cards are terrific! I’ve used them nearly every day since I got them months ago. They’re awesome for tight spaces, yet still easy to shuffle. The quality is just like the bicycle brand you’d buy in a grocery or drugstore. I highly recommend them!

I like the size of these cards, they are small so people with large hands might not care for them. My hands are small and I can use the cards with no problem. If you have little children this is a good set of cards for them to start with. They are good to have also if you collect playing cards. They are well made and very sturdy.

just like a full size deck. they are just as durable as a regular size deck -- will be using them for crafting

Had a bit of an issue, they only sent me the blue deck, not a pair. Amazon refunded my order and said they'd sort out the problem with the seller.These are a lovely little novelty or possibly a collectible. They've scaled down an otherwise full standard Bicycle Rider Back deck so two of them side-by-side fit on top of a full size rider back card with maybe half of the white border on the full size back still visible. The cards are NOT notably thinner, however. They do appear to have a patterned finish similar to the full size cards but it's scaled down so you can barely see it and it doesn't offer much in the way of an air cushion. It includes two jokers (one in color) but, oddly, no ad card(s). Core cards are mostly identical, but scaled, except the wording under the pip on the Ace of Spades. The text below the pip is "THE UNITED STATES PLAYING CARD COMPANY" on two lines instead of one and there's no made in usa or code under it.I'd crack a joke about "It's not the size of the deck but how you use it" except I'm pretty sure it's impossible to riffle shuffle or spring these because they are as thick as normal cards. Even half a pack won't bend enough to spring or riffle. They'd have probably been better off doing plastic prestige cards at half the thickness. Both so they'd handle well and so grubby little kid hands wouldn't destroy them. Otherwise I fear these are mostly useful for variations on that joke.The tuck case is quite nice. It's basically the same as a small box of raisins. You can even blow in it and make noise the same way because it's a tuck bottom, not glued. It says MINI on the top where the normal deck says "POKER." The flap has trademarks. The sides both just say "BICYCLECARDS.COM" and the bottom has the UPC barcode and a recycled symbol. Sadly, the back only shows 3/4 of the card back as the bottom quarter is used for coyright information that's normally on the bottom of a full size deck. There is no USPCC seal sticker but it did come in cellophane.I should note you can get these much cheaper from Bicycle's website. Prime shipping made this work out better for me, though.

We picked these up for a type of contract rummy we play in my family. It requires two decks, including jokers. One of the melds is two sets of 5 of a kind, so when you have multiple people playing, that can take a while to get, and you end up with a lot of cards in your hand. Some people have trouble holding that many, so I thought I'd try a smaller deck to make it easier.It is a little easier to hold more cards, since they're smaller, easier to hold that many. But it's also a bit more difficult pulling cards out since they're so small, but even that isn't the worst part.Shuffling these small decks, if you are playing a game with multiple decks, is a pain. It's just a little tough with a normal single deck, since theyr'e so short it's tough to get a good bend like you can with larger cards, and when you have that second deck included, it's nearly impossible.But if you're playing something with a single deck, this will work alright.

I was expecting something smaller but this perfect, it measures about half a normal deck, it's so awesome from bicycle, that I don't even want to break the seal.

Excellent size for easy use, to keep w/ you, & to use w/small tables that regular cards are too big to play on. I’m able to shuffle them and if they were any smaller @ all, I couldn’t shuffle. I looked for the largest mini’s I could find just so I could shuffle them, & these were the largest mini’s. Very easy for children to work with these cards w/ their small hands too. But I got these for ME, not kids. They have a coating just like good regular decks & are same thickness as regular cards too. These should last just as long as any good regular size playing cards, & are exactly the same other than smaller. The more I break them in, the easier & faster I can shuffle them too despite their small size. These are just what I wanted! No disappointments at all. I even got a 2nd deck of these for dbl deck card games or for 1 @ home & 1 in glovebox to keep w/ me wherever I might be & can use them for solitaire games to pass time while waiting for someone or @ a friend’s house for some good card games w/ someone else. You won’t be embarrassed to pull this little deck out & use it!

I had a very old Bicycle deck of mini-cards (green!) and wanted to get new decks to play a dual deck game with a friend, on a relatively small surface. Small cards make that easy to do. These are (unsurprisingly) slightly different dimensions from the old ones, but that just made sorting the decks easier at the end of play. (Ever so slightly different.) I'm a really happy satisfied customer. I have what we needed to play on the kitchen island, while socially distancing.Note: Given the price was listed as 1.00 per unit, I assumed there would be two decks. The picture and price per unit were misleading.
