Experience traditional quality and timeless design with the Piatnik Classic Poker Deck, a reliable choice for everyday card games and casual play. Since Ferdinand Piatnik took over Anton Moser's card painting business in 1843, the Piatnik family has preserved and refined the art of playing card manufacturing for over 180 years. What began as a traditional craft shop in Vienna's 14th district has evolved into Europe's leading game publisher, with products now available in 72 countries worldwide.
The Classic Poker deck (part number 01393) represents Piatnik's commitment to combining traditional knowhow with modern technology and high-grade raw materials. Available in red or blue back designs featuring a classic wheel and vine pattern, this single poker-sized deck contains 55 cards (52 playing cards plus 3 jokers) packaged in a tuck box. The poker size cards measure 63 x 88 mm (approximately 2.5 x 3.5 inches), which is the wider standard size preferred for Texas Hold'em, Omaha, blackjack, and most home card games.
Made with premium-quality materials, these cards offer exceptional durability and shuffleability for long-lasting use. The classic design and vibrant colors add a touch of excitement to your card games, whether you're hosting poker nights, playing rummy, gin, hearts, spades, or any other standard card game. The standard poker size cards fit comfortably in your hands, making every deal smooth and effortless.
The Classic series features plastic-coated cardboard construction with a smooth finish that makes shuffling a breeze while ensuring the cards won't easily tear or wear out. The cards include four corner indices (pips in all four corners) with a small corner pip size, designed for comfortable hand-holding while still allowing easy card identification. This thoughtful design works well for left-handed and right-handed players alike.
Piatnik ensures only sustainable raw materials flow into the production process, using only high-grade paper processed from sustainable forestry with FSC certification. The inks and varnishes employed for finishing are scrub-resistant and biodegradable, reflecting Piatnik's commitment to environmental responsibility.
Made in Vienna, Austria, these cards carry forward the Piatnik heritage established when Ferdinand and his three sons—Ferdinand, Adolf, and Rudolf—incorporated as "Ferdinand Piatnik & Söhne" in 1882. Piatnik Playing Cards unite traditional knowhow with modern technology, utilizing both the most modern electronic printing machinery as well as manually operated printers to create classic European products.
