There are some interesting designs, but they are all washed out and gray. The back of the card is ho-hum....and gray. The face cards have some elements that would be found with the faces, but don''t have the actual faces (which is interesting, but not exciting). Overall, the cards are flimsy and not worth the price. Now, if they looked like the box, that would be a different story. 25 people found this helpful Helpful Report sweet teas5.0 out of 5 starsVerified Purchase ALL the cards are gorgeous! Reviewed in the United States on September 7, 2018 I was looking for a really stunning deck of cards, with something unique on ALL the cards, not just the face cards. This is it!

See more I was looking for a really stunning deck of cards, with something unique on ALL the cards, not just the face cards. This is it! Yes, the backs are just black and white. But it''s kind of nice, because they look sort of "normal" until you start playing with them, and see the AMAZING designs on each and every card. Kind of a stealth luxury, if you ask me. Which is the best kind.

The only con I can see is that they''re soooo slippery that they fall off the table easily! My son and I were playing a stealth game of cribbage last night (stealth because he was supposed to go to bed and we didn''t want my husband to hear us....lol) so we played in whispers but fell into splits of giggles whenever the cards fell off the table and slid/slooped onto the floor. We had to pick them up a few times. This is of course a plus, because they shuffle beautifully.

Oh, and it seems to be my lucky deck. So glad I got this! Card games have an extra panache now.

At the same time, I got a deck of Nouveau Bourgogne cards, thinking they might be even prettier. They do have a more colorful card back. And on the inside, they are pretty, but they are a bit more standard. I find I prefer the High Victorians. :)

Get these and enjoy your card games! 19 people found this helpful Helpful Report Alfred P.4.0 out of 5 starsVerified Purchase These are among the most detailed and beautiful cards i''ve ever seen come out of Theory 11 Reviewed in the United States on April 29, 2018 These are among the most detailed and beautiful cards i''ve ever seen come out of Theory 11, the design studio really took it over the top with these and you and see it without even opening the box.

See more These are among the most detailed and beautiful cards i''ve ever seen come out of Theory 11, the design studio really took it over the top with these and you and see it without even opening the box.

However that''s what keeps it from quite being perfect, at least to me: the sheer business and intricacy of the design makes it hard for me to want to play a game with these because they''re too pretty for that, yet they''re also too busy to really get a good flourish in magic or cardistry because the designs just get lost in all the movement. Thus, this means that this deck just winds up sitting on my desk...

That''s just me though, the sheer beauty of the design work is worth combing through the cards alone i''d say. 7 people found this helpful Helpful Report Shrewsbury3.0 out of 5 starsVerified Purchase The Box for the cards is way fancier than the cards Reviewed in the United States on March 18, 2018 The cards are nice 15 people found this helpful Helpful Report Wyatt5.0 out of 5 starsVerified Purchase Nice, Beautiful Cards Reviewed in the United States on July 27, 2019 I love the styles of the Victorian era, and owning quite a few books and misc items from that time I had to pick up this deck.

The cards are beautiful and true to the art. They feel good in the hand and make me feel classier when using them. The numbered cards have no specific designs, only the royals do.
