{"product_id":"periodic-table-playing-cards-in-a-metal-tin","title":"Periodic Table Playing Cards in a Metal Tin","description":"\u003ch5\u003eDescription\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese periodic table playing cards in a tin put the science chart on the back of every card, then keep the whole deck in a neat metal case. Each back carries a grid of element tiles, from chromium and lithium to gold, neon and platinum. Every tile has its atomic number, symbol and name, set in coloured squares of red, mustard, green, teal, blue and grey on a soft cream ground. The pale grey lid wears the same print beneath the words Periodic Table and Playing cards, so the tin is as cheerful to look at as the cards themselves. Turn a card over and the faces are the classic ones, with aces, number cards and court cards in red and black suits and large corner letters that are easy to read.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKeep the tin in a coat pocket, a handbag or a suitcase and there is always a game ready for a train journey, a rainy afternoon on holiday or a long evening after dinner. With standard faces, the deck suits whatever you like to play, from rummy and whist to a round of patience on your own, while the element backs give everyone something to talk about between hands. At home it sits happily on a bookshelf, a desk or a games cupboard shelf, where the printed lid fits in neatly among books and board games.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe tin is metal and the cards are card. The tin measures 10.2cm long, 7.2cm wide and 2.1cm deep and weighs 0.13KG, so it adds next to nothing to a bag. The lid lifts off the base and fits back over it to keep the deck together between games. Wipe the tin with a soft dry cloth and keep the cards dry, sliding them back into the tin after each game. Finished with its printed lid, it makes a tidy present that needs little more than a ribbon.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRex London\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTin: metal; playing cards: card\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLength\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10.2cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7.2cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.1cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.13KG\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is printed on the backs of the cards?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach back carries a grid of coloured element tiles from the periodic table, each showing its atomic number, symbol and name.
