      • Really cool playing cards!
    I ordered these cards as a gift for my husband and we both love them! They arrived in good condition and all are in good shape. We looked through them right after we received them in the mail and they were a lot of fun to look at and I already learned quite a bit! Each card has a different constellation on it, along with the name of the constellation, the pronunciation, the translation, and a more detailed picture with a drawing of what the full constellation looks like (in theory? :) ). They also have the best season for viewing on each card and they are organized by suit. For example, the heart suit is all spring. I especially liked that they have the pronunciation on the cards for the names of the constellations and that each card is different. The constellations are also organized by difficulty or ease in ability to find them in the sky. For a comprehensive example, the Ace of hearts is Ursa Major, which is pronounced ER-suh MAY-jur, means "the great bear", is easier to find in the sky (so it is a high card), and is easiest to spot in the Spring. We haven't actually played with the cards yet, but I am sure we will and they seem like they will be great. We are excited to use them for game night. The only issues we have noticed are pretty minimal. They are fit very tightly into the box so they are somewhat difficult to get in and out, but it is doable. The other is that they are slightly larger than normal cards so they would not easily mix with other decks. This is only an issue if this is something that you need to do, or an easy fix for that would be to just buy as many decks as you need of this deck! :) ... show more

      • CARDS and STARS: Fun Product
    This was. good pick for our card night. A few of us enjoy an amateur study of the night sky as our hobby and these cards and the night sky design is perfectly complimentary of our tastes. These re somewhat of a keepsake kind of deck. The maker’s of this one has plenty of other interesting designs for card time! Very good, small gift for a card player and no occasion needed for delivery this surprise that is sure to be appreciated. ... show more

      • Beautiful Cards!
    The cards are larger than expected, but the cards themselves are beautiful! They're put together well, and I expect them to last for a while. There's also a lot to learn from them, if you're paying attention while you play!

      • A Long Time Ago in a Deck Far Far Away..
    These are excellent cards. They are beautifully crafted, and the red suits (hearts, diamonds) especially look great against the black. Aesthetic, mesmerizing, and fun. The only minor drawback is the box, which is rather tight when you squeeze the last couple of cards in. But really that's not enough to take half a star off because these cards are so magical (and great to play with with Star Wars on in the background). ... show more

      • Useful twice over
    These are great cards, and seriously they are useful twice over. Of course, it's a standard deck and can be used for any card game, so that's one use. Secondly, they feature 52 constellations and so can be used as a teaching tool. I can see myself going on camping trips and after playing a few games with the cards, looking up and matching the constellations. ... show more

      • UNIQUE PLAYING CARDS
    THIS DECK OF PLAYING CARDS IS SO UNIQUE. DARK BLUE BACK MAKES THEM QUITE STRIKING IN APPEARANCE. THE CARDS ARE SLIGHTLY LARGER THAN A REGULAR DECK OF POKER CARDS, BUT THEY ARE POKER CARDS. THEY ARE OF VERY HIGH QUALITY, AND VERY INTERESTING TO STUDY THE NIGHT SKY. MY GRANDSON WILL LOVE THESE. I NOW WANT A DECK FOR MYSELF. ... show more

      • Not worth the price
    Larger than standard cards. Thick and sturdy. Images are dark and don’t have explanations so it’s just an overpriced deck of cards
