Apostrophe GamesBlank Playing Cards – 180pcs Blank Playing Cards to Write On – Custom Card Deck with Matte Finish

These are my go-to resource for game designing and prototyping, especially in the early stages. Grab a stack of these, a handful of colored Sharpie markers (the ultra-fine tips work great on these), and you're good to go. Nice and sturdy, shuffle well, not too slick, and permanent marker dries fairly quickly. Don't know what I'd do without these!

I recently bought these to make my own artist trading cards.. they are PERFECT. I love the versatility. I an use paint pens, Alcohol markers, pencil....and they come out great!!!

I purchased these Blank Playing Cards to create some custom Cards Against Humanity cards.Pros:✔ Good Quality – The matte finish is smooth, and the cards feel sturdy.✔ Perfect for DIY Games – Great for creating custom card games, flashcards, or teaching tools.✔ Easy to Write On – Works well with pens, markers, and even light stamping without smudging.✔ Generous Quantity – 180 cards provide plenty of room for creativity.Cons:❌ Not Waterproof – Cards are paper-based, so they may wear over time with heavy use.❌ No Storage Box – Would be nice if it came with a storage container.Overall, these blank playing cards are a fantastic choice for anyone looking to design their own games or educational tools. Highly recommended! 🎨🃏✍️

They are sturdy. I use them for my students to play a learning game. Great for individualized word games and practice. A sharpie worked well for writing. They dry quickly. Highly recommended.

The pack that I got had four bundles of 50 cards - cellophane wrapped. The paper cards are that same size and weight of a inexpensive pack of poker cards that I have (the only difference is the playing cards have a finish applied to them). The blank cards are matte finished and seem to hold ink fairly well with no bleeding. I'm using a variety of pens with these cards - Sharpie permanent markers, Uni-ball metallic gel pens, and assorted highlighters. The gel pens look great and the Sharpies work well too. These cards hold up well under light handling, but start getting a bit ragged over time with heavy use. For what I'm using these cards for (flash-cards, random-number generators, art-card pieces) they hold up adequately for my needs. I will probably be purchasing more of these again in the future.The only markers I had problems with (that I've tried), were the Sharpie brand flip chart markers. The ink from those beaded up on the surface of the cards and smeared. The highlighters smeared a bit too - but I sort of like the water-color like effect that you can get with using them on these cards.

These are great. We're making NPC cards for DND. They're sturdy and not soo small in size either. They're about as a thick as regular playing cards and they're cheap.

These cards are great for simple designs or text but complex coloring and shading is difficult to achieve with the surface finish already on the card. This surface is great for the overall texture that cannot otherwise be achieved so it’s a five and take feature. If you want to pencil then ink, and especially if adding color, it’s best to get the pencils mostly erased before inking to avoid smudging. These smudges can be removed with additional erasing, but it’s more work and often requires re-inking. Even permanent markers tend to float on the finishing but paint markers without extensive layering and allowed to dry works nice.The weight of the paper is comparable to most gaming cards. There is some minor shine-through when held up to the light but it is not apparently noticeable at a glance. These are good for drafting a deck of game cards, creating scrapbook background clips or caption bubbles, mini art cards, or creating a trading card template for anyone to design.

These cards are the perfect cut, size and weight to use for making proxy cards to Magic the Gathering.The only potential issue is figuring out what type of pen to use. After experimenting with a wide variety of pens it became apparent that these cards are very quick to absorb oils on the skin and cause an inconsistent line with many types of ink, as can be seen in the first image.However diligence paid off. Copic markers work wonderfully, drying quickly and behaving just like they do on normal marker paper. However to get a nice fine line, SHARPIE Permanent Markers, Ultra Fine Point did the job. NOTE: not the SHARPIE Pen, or S gel, only the traditional Permanent Alcohol Sharpie fine point worked fast and clear, other types smeared way to easily for way too long.Pigma Microns which are normally my go to pen for working with ink and Copic Markers took a very long time to dry, somewhere between 1 and 24 hours. I found a test card the following day and checked if they would still smear, microns did not smear at 24 hours, but that is too much time.So anyways, pick up some SHARPIE Permanent Markers, Ultra Fine Point and some Copic markers and go nuts!
