Do you think this mat would work well for playing cards? Can you push your finger into the material enough to make it easier to pick the card up?

I use the mat for a tile game, Mah Jong. I think the mat would work similarly for cards. The mat adds friction allowing you to get a better grasp of the tile/card. Actually there are two different surfaces and you could test which side is best.

Yes, I think so. I love the Mat and it's finish. Tiles do not slide on it. It is a great mat.

Yes, I think so. I like this mat so much that I bought a second one. Excellent surface for games.

Yes,the table mat would work well for cards or any other gam3. The mat is foam-bached fabric. It has enougg 'give' in the surtace for cards.

I should think this table mat would be ideal for playing cards. It's made out of that smooth neoprene that is used for wetsuits, so it's a little cushy with a slick top surface and the bottom is rubbery so it doesn't slide around. It fits perfectly on a standard size card table.

I've only used it to play Mah Jongg, but I tested it with some cards and it seemed to work fine. It was very easy to pick up the cards. Hope this helps!

For those still wondering... I bought this mat for the specific purpose of playing card games (Dominion, Smash Up, etc). The material is not as thick as other card playing mats so you can't really push your finger into the material, however, it's still very easy to pick up cards using this mat, especially compared to a hard wood table surface (which is what I had been using). So I am very happy with the product.

I haven't tried it with cards, but I think it would be fine. It is not thick or cushy. It just has a backing which keeps it from slipping when on a table.

Yes it can. Actually my husband modified it so I could have a handle to push the card.

Not sure if it will hold cards, but perhaps the Mah Jongg tiles. The "valley" is about 1/4 to 1/2 inch deep but is not on a slant, that's why I think cards wouldn't work. Hope this helps!

I don't think it would work well with larger cards. The height would not be a problem as much as the width. It's a pretty snug fit. Also, the box looks great, but the lid won't stay open so you can go through the cards. I'm not happy about that.

Yes.....just like you see on professional tables. I used this on a table I built with 1/8" foam, and it works great. The cards slide from end to end with little effort.

I have had no problems with the mat, and I'm not a light-weight. The mat would probably work well for you.

I would say no. The metal quality is not up to par. I would limit the use to thin vinyl, card stocks, flexible magnets, etc.

Hello Laura, thanks for your question. Yes you can use your finger. This is a case for an iPad. checkout this video.http://youtu.be/fYfgziMTZvI

Haven't tried but I think it would work. I wouldn't fold it, for my mat it would be about the right size. I don't think it would slip. It's thin and grippy. And super absorbent. Great towel.

The cards we put in them don't fall out. We shuffle them and everything. I suppose if you really tried you could make it happen but with normal use no problem there. Doesn't even slip out a little.

this unit will work with most all thickness of playing cards ...must be of standard size playing cards.willo not work with round children's cards.

This shuffler works very well with Magic the Gathering cards. To my surprise, it even works well with sleeved cards. You might be better off using alternative shuffling techniques instead (like dealing your cards into six separate stacks, combine, cut, repeat, etc) to reduce wear and tear on your cards, but this shuffler does work well.

It's pretty thin, but the top is crinkled, so less slippery than carpet. Your weight would push whatever touches the floor down into the mat--so it might actually be worth a try.

Yes. This holds up to roughly 180 sleeved standard cards. So it would fit Yu Gi Oh without a problem. There would just be a little extra space.

Maybe? I imagine it would be a difficult undertaking.Due to there size and there being a kinda glossing finish to one side. However, It might work. But, If your finding difficult to find good custom card choices. You should look into "Personalize Blank Playing Cards" here on

As far as I know, Yu-Gi-Oh cards aren't 'standard' sized like MTG cards are, so they might be a bit loose. If I were you I would use card sleeves in the binder to make it fit more snugly.

The sleeves are definitely good for playing. The cards do not slip out and shuffling is fairly easy. However, after about a few weeks of constant use, the sleeves develop a haze that 'cloud' the view of the cards. Plus, the haze makes it easy for an opponent to spot a well-used card when it's introduced into a deck. Best used for storage.
