Piatnik Bridge Size

Shop Piatnik Bridge-Size Playing Cards from the historic Austrian cardmaker. Piatnik bridge cards generally measure approximately 58 × 89 mm, giving them a narrower profile that can be more comfortable when players must hold a larger number of cards.

This collection includes traditional paper decks, washable 100% plastic cards, jumbo-index options, coordinated double-deck sets, Canasta cards, decorative gift sets, and selected bulk quantities. Bridge size describes the dimensions of the cards—not the only game that can be played with them.

Why Choose Bridge-Size Playing Cards?

Bridge-size cards are slightly narrower than poker-size cards. The reduced width makes it easier to fan and hold larger hands, which is useful for bridge, Canasta, rummy, Samba, whist, and many other traditional card games.

Players also choose bridge-size cards for general game nights, travel, or simply because they prefer a narrower deck. The faces still use familiar suits, ranks, and court cards unless the individual product specifies a specialty format.
