8-Bit Gold Playing Cards

I really like the retro Nintendo/ Zelda vibe of this deck. Unfortunately, the card stock that was used is really thick and the cards don’t handle very well. The cards were printed by the Freedom Playing Card Company. Their website says that they are an American company that prints in China using German made casino grade card paper. This is the first deck I have owned that was printed by this company and I was not impressed. When I first opened these, I could barely spring the cards, but they did start to handle a little better after breaking them in some. Despite the poor handling, I would still recommend this deck if you are just a collector or you want to use it for game play, but for cardistry or magic look else where.

I was excited at first when I saw these, but upon closer inspection the pixel art is pretty ugly, and the aesthetic they evoke is right up to the edge of trademark/copyright infringement on Nintendo's intellectual property. The effect is that of a cheap knockoff.

It's funny, because Nintendo started out as a hanafuda playing card company, and if you can't today buy an officially licensed Nintendo deck of playing cards that have Mario, Zelda, and Metroid themes, someone should contact them right away and ask them how they could possibly have missed this opportunity.
