| | | Sliding Copaqs?
I've had my Copaq's for about 2 months now, and despite having used them a number of times, the decks are still SUPER slick.
The deck slops over every time you set it down or cut.
Are the other brands of plastic cards like this too? |

| | | I like the flexibility and feel of the Copaq's, just not the sliding deck effect.
Are you saying that's better with the Dal Negro's? |

Are you saying that's better with the Dal Negro's? | Gemacos (even more so than copags IMO) and Copags are both on the flexi side, and slide off the top of the deck.
Dal Negros are a different feel all together, sort of thicker and less flimsy feeling than Gemacos.
I like the artwork and over all feel of D.N. Im so used to the Kem decks and when playing with DN, I was surprised at how quickly they made such a positive impression on me.

| | | I have not tried Dal Negros, and would like to. However, I have been able to get Copags considerably cheaper and will likely not switch anytime soon.
With a lot of use, Copags do loose their slipperyness (for lack of a better word).
I also find that the best way to shuffle them is the same way they do in a casino: half the deck on the table and shuffle the corners. This helps with the slippery problem and it also keeps them from staying curved.
I have a friend with a nice set of Copags and they are curved because they have been shuffled and bridged all the time. |

| | | great choice. THe Dal Negros have a slight linen feeling to it. Thats the same reason why I prefer them over Gemacos.
