Everybody has a deck of playing cards laying somewhere around there house, most likely a deck of Bicycle Rider back playing cards (Red or Blue). But there are also other varieties of playing card decks out there. There are Ellusionist and Magic Makers just to name a few of the company's out there under the United States Paying Card Company that make quality alluring decks of playing cards. I'm not a magician or a big deck collector, but just an admirer of these pocket sized works of art. I currently have 3 decks of Shadow Masters by Ellusionist and also a deck of Eco Edition Bicycle playing cards. I plan on ordering an Ellusionist Blue Artifice deck and/or a White Arcane deck.
So tell me, what is your favorite deck of playing cards?

i don't own a deck of cards at the moment, as no one i know plays cards any more.
when i was a child i used to play cards with my great uncle when we went to visit, but i can't play bridge, as i don't have the right sort of memory, and most card playing clubs play bridge.
when i was a child i had a pack of very small cards, and i used to play patience games with them a lot, i thought them very pretty.
i sometimes see a very pretty pack in a shop but there doesn't seem any point in buying them.

Bridge is a pretty difficult game. The gameplay it self isn't all that difficult, but its the strategy that it takes to win a game. If you would be interested in learning how, I suggest checking out the Learn To Play Bridge game/program by the American Contract Bridge League, https://web.acbl.org/LearnToPlayBridge/ . it is very well done and makes it easy for beginners to learn. Give it a try and let me know what you think.

i will have a look.
my aunt plays bridge. and we used to play whist with her, and she always seemed to have this amazing ability to remember which cards had been played, whereas i never could, and so it put me off trying to play it, but i will have a look. thank you.
