are the cards made out of plastic? if not, does it feel similar to?

no there not made out of plastic. there are made like your standard playing cards. But if you want plastic playing cards you make have to look up some that say waterproof. all water proof cards are made of plastic, just not many designs to choose from in that style.

If you buy the actual game the cards are thicker and plastic coated. The game is a lot of fun and easy to play.

They are like jumbo sized standard playing cards. They are paper with the shiny waxy coating. Just like Bicycle playing cards. Hope this helps.

@Stephen - we recently purchased these. They are not plastic, but heavy duty cardboard. I was disappointed at first, but they are working really well for us.

I'm not sure, but they feel like the same material as like a surgical mask... paper

No...just like with any cards & envelopes, the cards are made from cardstock and the envelopes are made from a sturdy paper.

Yes, they are a kind of glittery plastic. We love the set and are especially happy with the size and the numbers instead of dots. Yes the pictures are a true likeness. When we first opened the game up, we thought the pieces seemed smaller than we expected (we had played with a full sized set before). But we love the size now. The bigger set takes up so much room on the table...you have to keep re-adjusting the train lines to try to make room. The smaller size makes so much more sense. We even took it to the local park to play on a picnic table. :)

I not sure about saying knockoffs. However, they are cheap in cost and texture. I paid $10 at stores for the same identical ones. These have lasted me about a year or so. The inside is plastic sometimes slide out of place. If you buy them, tape the plastic inserts and it will last much longer . they are not a heavy metal. But will last ..I hope this will help. I have ordered them each year for me and my friends. My friends carry expensive purses($200-$300) , and they use these for their cards.

Hello Anita -- it is very close. I would say that the flash cards are just a bit *thinner* [please note: this is subjective, I have no way of actually measuring the thickness]. When I go to shuffle them or spread them out (as one would playing cards) -- they are just a bit thinner, which makes this harder -- but not impossible. For my purposes, I feel they are still worth the price.

My Jumbo Plastic Coated Playing Cards are Red (geometric shape like Bicycle playing cards) on the back and typical playing cards on the front against a white background. Very much like regular playing cards - only BIG! They do not appear cheap at all. Mine also do not look like the pictures above, they look like typical cards. I use mine for Party Planned show games. Work great for me. I purchased mine in October 2012. Maybe something has changed.

no the ones I got were made of like cardboard... you can compare the cardboard to that of like cereal box or cake mix box. Is sturdy enough for what I needed it. I've had it since Christmas bought it to play with 6 and 9 year olds :)

It's not plain plastic, it's like usual cards, maybe coated with thin plastic but i'm not sure. It's good quality and nice design.

Plastic. There is a plastic frame. This frame is the basic structure of the case. The plastic is made very thin to form the hinge. On the inside there are two hard rubber inserts which hold the cards. On the outside there are two metal shells. I have not opened and closed my case very much so I don't have any life cycle data.

I purchased my Phase 10 card game from Amazon and the cards are not flimsy but yes, they are smooth coated. They will last for many, many games.

No they are not, they are high quality card stock with a plastic coating finish. Very nice cards though, I have two decks myself and I love them.

The cards were plastic and they will hold up to heavy use. They can be wiped off with cleaner. They were really nice and the residents love them.

Yes, it works great like that. I did the same thing and I can see the cards since the plastic is translucent. Hope this helps.
