Experience the legendary Viennese craftsmanship of Piatnik with this premium 100% Plastic Poker 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 poker-sized single deck (part number 1362) represents Piatnik's commitment to quality and innovation. Each deck contains 55 cards (52 playing cards plus 3 jokers) housed in a protective plastic case. The poker size cards measure 2.5 x 3.5 inches (63.5 x 88.9 mm), which is the wider standard preferred for poker and most home game play.
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 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 poker size width provides a more spacious index and allows for better visibility when cards are face-up on the table. This makes them perfect not only for Texas Hold'em, Omaha, Seven Card Stud, Five Card Draw, and other poker variants, but also for countless classic card games played with a standard 52-card deck. The smooth surface ensures effortless shuffling and dealing 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.
Whether you're hosting a poker night, playing rummy, gin, hearts, spades, or any other card game, Piatnik's 100% plastic poker deck delivers the professional quality and longevity that has made this Austrian manufacturer a trusted name for nearly two centuries.
