Description
This playing cards box holds two decks of poker-size cards, each in its own slim tuck box, both decorated with a cheerful pattern of stylised card suits. The suit shapes come in orange, black, grey, white, turquoise and soft peach, set on a sky-blue back for one deck and a pale mint back for the other, so the two decks are easy to tell apart. The faces are classic, with clear corner indices and traditional court cards picked out in yellow, orange and turquoise. Each card is 8.8cm on its long side and 6.3cm across, the poker size that sits comfortably in the hand.
Both decks live together in a lidded presentation box in mint green with a white edge, printed with the words Playing Cards and 2 Decks. It suits a games shelf in the living room, a drawer by the kitchen table or a bag packed for a weekend away. With two decks to hand you can deal two tables at once, keep a spare ready, or play the games that call for two decks shuffled together. It makes a thoughtful present for anyone who enjoys a hand of rummy, a round of poker or a quiet game of patience.
The cards and their boxes are made from card, and the outer box is 14.2cm long, 10.4cm wide and 4.8cm high, weighing 0.18KG, so it tucks easily onto a shelf or into a suitcase. After play, slide the cards back into their tuck boxes, keep them away from damp and spills, and handle them with dry hands. We like to give the blue deck to one player and the mint deck to another for a friendly evening of games, then return both to the presentation box ready for next time. Wrapped just as it comes, it makes a tidy gift that needs no extra fuss.
