Experience the legendary Viennese craftsmanship of Piatnik with this premium 100% Plastic Bridge single deck. 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.
This single bridge deck (part number 1364) represents Piatnik's commitment to quality and innovation. Crafted from 100% full plastic rather than plastic-coated cardboard, these cards offer exceptional durability that can last up to 50 times longer than traditional paper decks. The bridge size cards measure 58 x 89 mm and feature international standard faces, making them perfect for bridge, whist, rummy, canasta, and countless other classic card games.
The fully plastic construction provides numerous advantages for serious card players. Unlike paper cards that bend, crease, or show wear after repeated use, Piatnik's plastic cards resist damage and maintain their pristine condition through thousands of shuffles. They're completely washable and waterproof, ideal for outdoor games, travel, or poolside entertainment. The smooth surface ensures effortless shuffling while the durable material prevents marking or creasing that can compromise gameplay.
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. The company's dedication to quality raw materials sourced from local European suppliers and FSC-certified sustainable forestry practices reflects their commitment to excellence.
Each deck contains 55 cards (52 playing cards plus 3 jokers) housed in a protective plastic case. Whether you're a bridge enthusiast, casual card player, or collector of premium playing cards, Piatnik's 100% plastic bridge deck delivers the professional quality and longevity that has made this Austrian manufacturer a trusted name for nearly two centuries.
