Description
This mini deck of playing cards carries the sharks print on every back: a dark navy ground scattered with sharks swimming in grey, blue, orange and purple. The faces are the classic design, with clear red and black suits, bold numbers in the corners and traditional court cards, so they read easily in the hand. Each card measures 5.7cm long and 3.7cm wide, with neatly rounded corners, and the whole set weighs just 33g. The deck comes in a slim navy box printed with three sharks and the words Mini Playing Cards, which keeps everything together between games.
Small enough to drop into a bag, a coat pocket or a glovebox, these cards are an easy way to keep a game of snap, rummy or patience close at hand. They suit a quiet evening at the kitchen table, a rainy afternoon at home or a long wait in a café, and the compact size means a game fits on a tray or a narrow table. The sharks print adds a bit of character to an ordinary card game, and the deck makes a small, cheerful gift on its own or tucked in alongside something bigger.
The cards are printed card, with the design on both sides and corners rounded so they shuffle easily and do not catch. As with any deck, keep them dry and away from spills, and return them to their box after play so the corners stay crisp and none go missing. A soft dry cloth will lift dust from the box. We like to keep a deck in the hall drawer for unplanned games, or wrap one up with a notebook as a thoughtful little present.
