French artist Gustave Doré (1832-1883) produced hundreds of awesome Bible story illustrations in his lifetime. These illustrations were used in Bibles of many languages in Nineteenth Century Europe and later in the Americas.
Casino style playing cards with a block-out center make this deck not only great for collecting, but great to play with. The linen finish gives it a long lasting and durable snap. Plastic coated. The numbers and index are considered to be "normal" size and are NOT jumbo index.
PLEASE NOTE: This deck is not available to sell or ship outside the United States of America.
In the US the standard names for the size of decks would be "Bridge" or "Poker". Both of these decks can be used for most card games. The only real difference would be that the "Bridge" size decks are 1/4" narrower than "Poker". Otherwise they can be used for pretty much anything. Please read the description of this item for more information.
This has to do with the actual size of a deck of cards, not really whether or not tradional games can be played with it or not. While here in the US we call most decks either "Poker" or "Bridge" size, most of the rest of the world would call them either "Wide" or "Narrow", respectivily.
Many times the "narrow" decks were intended for ladies or children because it was easier for them to handle. While the "narrow" are considered the standards size in most of the world, here in the US the "wide" are considered the standard size.
Please check actual description of the product to see if normal card games can be played with this particular product.
