Hey guys. finally got my package from gamblers general store today, so I decided to write a review of the purple and red, but also compare them to the brown.
Red
This deck kind of caught me off guard. Each single card is very thick, which gives it a unique finish. They almost feel like plastic. Don't get me wrong, they are good cards, but they are pretty weird-feeling. As far as stock goes, i found nothing unique. They feel like the same stock as your normal bikes. The color is brighter than i expected. I thought it was going to be a dark maroon color, but its not as dark as it may look on video. I think is a pretty good deck. They handle pretty well,, and are quite good for flourishing. I'll give them an 8 out of 10.
Blue
This deck feels like no other deck I have ever held, and that says a lot. They have a very unique finish, a little like the red, but they are stiffer. These are VERY stiff. took me about an hour of springing and shuffling to really break them in. They hold together very nicely. They don't fan all tha great though. Once you break them in, they fan okay, but I think the red is has an overall better smoothness. these cards are also very purple. I though they'd have a hint of blue, but these are straight up purple. This is a very different type of playing cards. I'll give them a 9 out of 10.
To be honest, I like the browns the best. They hold together great, spread and fan like a dream, and once they are broken in, feel like no ther deck of cards. If your going for just stock and feel, I'd look into getting some browns. If you want a deck with more vibrant colors, then go for another color.
