Reddit's favorite alternatives to Trademark Poker GLDCARD 24K Gold Playing Cards

Hundreds of reviews on the amazon page:

https://smile.amazon.com/Kikkerland-GG79-Pixel-Playing-Cards/dp/B00UBXVJ4C/ref=redir_mobile_desktop?_encoding=UTF8&dpID=51hMRkYW%2BdL&dpPl=1&keywords=pixel%20playing%20cards&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&qid=1506959248&ref=plSrch&...

Edit: correction, I just realized they are for all the types of cards offered under this single product page, though it appears most people are happy with the pixel/transparent cards.

You can also get them on Amazon from the same vendor at a reduced price.

Pfft I got mine from Amazon for $9. They're one of my favorite decks in my collection. They can be bad for.playong certain games though since the diamonds are blue for some reason. (The clubs are also green, so they do have an rgb thing going on but the blue is the most jarring)

Here's the non ripoff link

You can probably find them cheaper at AliExpress or similar site, but I didn't find them in the first few pages searching pixel playing cards.

I've seen them on amazon! That being said printing is probably the fastest way to prototype. Print on plain paper and then sleeve them with a throwaway mtg or yugioh card.

I live in Canada, and bought mine from Amazon

​

The ones I originally bought went up in price a bit, but the shipping should be reasonably fast this way.

​

Hope this helps!

I'm also canadian, and I bought some of these on amazon last year!

The Game Crafter sells blank cards in bulk, same size as the ones used printed. Amazon also sells them.

I bought them on Mercado Libre, but amazon has stock too

hey, thanks! I bought blank cards on amazon and hand drew them all with my wide collection of permanent markers that I need at work, hehe. You can totally draw with other things on them though!

here they are:

Infinitokens are basically just these but with extra stuff printed on them.

if you stalk amazon, bricks of standard bikes drop to $12.50 USD every couple of months. they're usually about $18, but are uncommonly high at $24 right now. that's still only $2/deck and standard bikes are great (despite was another poster today was ranting about) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001AMO8A0

unfortunately they don't really work. another example of cards not good for cardistry, but you can still do packet tricks. if you keep an eye on amazon, this brick of bikes goes down to $12.50 (if you're in the states) every few months https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001AMO8A0/?coliid=IV6ELSVAAYIJ7. that's an incredible value, and these cards are perfect to get started. otherwise, i'd recommend grabbing a two-pack of bicycles either online or at walgreens or a grocery store. the price won't be as very good, but you'll want some legit cards to get started or you'll be very frustrated. don't get anything fancy because when you start with cardistry, you'll mangle your cards very quickly.

Dry-erase playing cards. I used them as tokens for events that I don't know what tokens I'll be using, but you could easily just write the number of tokens on these.

These are $6.99: https://smile.amazon.com/Apostrophe-Games-Erase-Blank-Cards/dp/B01H4D8ITK

Might be a good option, unless you wanted them to look like actual playing cards for aesthetic reasons.

Will people please stop wasting their money on this. They're charging $12 for 25 cards. Here's a Link for 180 for $8

For face up game, I do in pairs. right to left as the dealer deals the 2nd card. I think of it as a mechanical process, click, click, click, then the dealer's face up card click. If I count the individual cards, I make mistakes.

For pitch games, even easier, I don't even look at my 1st card. when I get the 2nd card the same mechanical process, my cards click then the dealer's up card click. I don't even peek at other players cards, or even when they turn them over for side bets. If I try to count ahead by peeking at other players cards: mistakes. mechanical process every time.

If I count cards the second I see them, I make mistakes. Hence the mechanical process. The only way to know is if you have someone else deal the cards while you watch. Somehow if you do it yourself you will subconsciously throttle it at think you are doing great.

I found the best way to learn to count pairs and single cards at the same time is to put blank cards in your deck. Then turn over 2 at a time, you will get either a pair or single card. you can get blank cards here:

Instead of paying infinitokens premium for a border, I ordered cards similar to these from amazon

I suppose, but they're very expensive for what they are.

Try these: LotFancy Dry Erase Blank Playing Cards, 180PCS Reusable Flash Cards, DIY Vocabulary Study Cards, Learning Cards, Game Cards, Message Card, Gift Card, Glossy Finish, Poker Size https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07QV77ZX7/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_i_ZQR7CJVPMYWW9AZH6ZAN?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

A great idea, but a lot of extra cost for the name brand.

I bought this last year, and they've worked a treat. Standard playing card sized, usable on either side, and cheap enough that I don't mind if one gets mishandled or lost during a night of playing.

I provided an Amazon link for ease of reference, but if anyone wants these, shop around, see if you can get a better deal (or at least not through Amazon if that bothers you).

I've printed a couple thousand cards at this point (deckbuilders man...) and agree entirely with /u/TrevorBradley that printing on regular paper and sleeving with an actual card as backing is the way to go

While tedious they are easy to swap out when you make changes, since the sleeves / cards are reusable you only need a home printer to change them as rapidly as you want

A rotary cutter is a must with larger numbers of cards

I prefer blank cards so there's no artwork visible through your paper in case the paper is on the thin side, e.g.: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01H4CZQ14

Look, Infinitokens are neat, but you're definitely going to pay far too much.

I've been using these since September, and I have permanently lost two individual cards so far. One due to a friend using a Sharpie and not a dry erase marker, and the other just got bent while it was being handed from person to person, and I tossed it.

Great organization! You may want to look into the cubies that hold baseball card boxes. That way the boxes won’t fall off the shelf

I use this

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M3YVUDR/

One box for every color + lands/tokens/sleeves etc. all my mtg stuff are currently in one place using this.

Infinity tokens are great and all, but you can buy a huge pack of dry wipe playing cards off of amazon for a much cheaper price.

I have been using these in my copy deck and prefer having the whole card space to write on.

Here's the ones I bought. cards

Dry Erase Cards

i think the price is right for these cards. expos wipe away if you want to reuse them or sharpie to keep them around.

Definitely dont sleeve every card lmao. I wouldnt even say sleeve every foil card. Some aren't worth much money. I would check the price of the foils and then sleeve the expensive ones.

Commons are annoying to sort. I have way too many fucking bulk commons, I just keep them in the spare draft boxes and similar boxes I own. Loosely organized by set. I probably should go back and do it properly.

If I were to do it properly, I would organize all the bulk commons and foils by set, color, and cost. I would probably get something like this and label each box with the set inside. If you are just staring and plan on buying alot more, then I would do something similar from NOW. The commons are just going to pile up and you are just gonna have a closet full of bulk cards that you know will take hours to sort through.

Buy these they represent the board state better for the table when everyone can clearly see you have like 20+ tokens. Plus you can draw on them

These work, just use dry erase markers and let the ink dry, or use sharpies.

Use them to get playtesting done, and then use Game Crafter to make the beta.

Been in the same spot before! It can be quite rough. Hopefully the advice here from everyone will help!

For me, I like to find the central mechanic or idea that I want to build everything around. Usually I will try to find a simple game from here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_games_in_game_theory and then I'll find fun ways to iterate on the idea. There are some gems in there! The downside is that game theory games are not "fun" they are more like a distillation of game mechanics. But once you find one that you like, find a way to make it fun!

As for your card designing problem, I would suggest a different route. I prefer to get blank cards that I can write on. It takes longer to make them, but I can play test immediately and make changes just as fast. It really helps to go from prototype to tabletop super fast. And you don't need to focus on the art, just the rough placement of where things should be and how they should be laid out. If you want an example, try something like this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01H4CZQ14/ref=cm_sw_r_u_apa_glt_fabc_PYMJHYZ6JE8C6ATWEAM1?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

I have and have used both. A while back yours were delayed and I ordered the ones I linked (specifically these since I'm in the US) and used them for several months while waiting for yours to be available.

The generic ones I ordered have worked just as well and aside from the thickness (which isn't a problem; the generic ones are just slightly thinner than yours and are pretty much identical to a MTG card in terms of thickness/rigidity) there isn't much of a difference. For their purpose (temporary use for tokens/counters/etc) they're functionally identical, and "much higher quality" doesn't end up being much of a difference.

There's nothing wrong with your product, but if people are looking for dry-erase tokens the other options like what I linked can serve the same purpose and are generally much cheaper:

$0.397/card - InfiniTokens (50-pack @ $19.85) + $3.95 shipping

$0.069/card - Apostrophe (160-pack @ $10.99) + $0.00 shipping

There are a few companies that sell blank cards

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01H4CZQ14/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_fabc_H7QJW013C0T83P4NCW16

There is a video (I think it was from ispcc or how it's made) that shows card construction. The black core is actually the adhesive used to glue the cardstock together so that it's not light transparent.

I'm considering something like this. I'm working towards having a playset of every card sleeved and stored in order by set for easy access.

For xmas I'm getting my EDH (Magic the gathering) group dry erase tokens and markers and I don't know if;

• I should stick with the brand name I've used know the quality of (infinitoken) or go with a cheaper generic amazon product that would arrive weeks earlier.

• I should get markers that would fit into a deck box's dice/token tray, or full size less-likely to be lost markers.

These dry erase cards Here could work too! Only issue being that if there are permanent elements that need to remain on and/or be printed on the cards...that might be difficult but you could always test it out! These are pretty cheap too

Right now, Amazon has a brick of Bikes for $15.98 ($1.33/deck) which is a good price. Bikes are excellent for practice because they're cheap and high quality. What you want to use for show, depends on your style and what you want to accomplish with the flourish. Theory11 have excellent quality with good designs and cost $10/deck, other decks with designs better suited to Cardistry can be more. Really depends on what you're looking for in terms of visuals...

Here's the link to the $16 brick of Bikes on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001AMO8A0/ref=oh_aui_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I bought a pack of dry erase cards from Amazon for £7. I have yet to actually use them in a game, but I've tested them out and they are a good size, wipe clean for re-use and would be great for a Fate game.

Sam's, Costco and Amazon have 12 packs of good cards for about 15-16 USD. Costco and Sam's usually have cards in the books section and not the games or anything btw.

I couldn't find the exact brick I bought earlier this year but here is one for around 40

brick of standards for 42

I went through all of Amazon aus bike cards and this was the cheapest per unit and also had free shipping I believe.

Totally! I bought these last year and they work perfectly for tokens with a dry erase marker, it’s nice to always have the exact right token (with stats) and it can be funny to draw them during games:

Apostrophe Games Dry Erase Blank... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01H4D8ITK?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Not sure what the actual question is here? It sounds more like a hopeful product pitch.

That said ... just print said cards with your printer? There is printer cardstock that will match the size of a playing card or business card and can be easily "punched out". Or ... use normal paper and/or cardstock and cut the cards out with scissors.

... or, just buy a selection of completely blank playing cards (for example, the first results in a Google search were these: https://www.amazon.com/Apostrophe-Games-Blank-Playing-Finish/dp/B01H4CZQ14 ) and write on them with pen or pencil.

Yep! here you go

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00UBXVJ4C/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I live in the UK now, but i also got a set from amazon in the US. Just search pixel cards and you should find them

My suggestion: get a pack of dry erase cards (6 bucks on amazon) and some fine point dry erase markers. We did this for our EDH/cube group and it’s been great, some of our more artistically inclined players do some fun doodles on their tokens the longer they stick around on the board, too.

So I bought a bunch of these packs of cards: Apostrophe Games Blank Playing Cards (Matte Finish & Poker Size) (180 Cards) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01H4CZQ14/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_W3ydCbFRVTZBE

So I can make them on the fly with a sharpie. I would say make 10, I can't imagine you would need more then that.

Aren’t they the same price on Amazon

Edit: Great game choice. Got into Sushi Go this past weekend and we couldn't stop playing

Not sure if shipping to wherever you are kills it, but Amazon UK has Sushi Go Party

if you mean Sushi Go Party, it's available on Amazon.co.uk

It was just reprinted in the States. You can check US Amazon for shipping costs but no idea what it normally retails for in the EU.

Nope, that's the old version. You want to be looking for this box, I think!

Yeah, I guess I didn't search well enough. I found a brick for $18.24:
