These badger decks have been very useful in playing the 5 hand partnership spades game I have developed. And they have been very helpful with the 6 hand partnership spades game. The decks have been very well received. Thus the 4 stars.

I only gave 4 stars instead of 5 because once you get the additional cards added to the deck it becomes difficult to shuffle. This is especially difficult for me with arthritus beginning to take a toll on my hands.

This may not be possible with the volume sold but what this set needs is a version printed on the quality of stock normally seen with KEM and Copag decks which are much more durable and infinitely easier to shuffle, especially when you get 80 to 100 cards in deck to shuffle. If that is ever delivered I would give this 6 stars out of 5.
