Frequently Asked Questions

Three things you’ll notice from the first deal: premium 310 GSM paper with a satisfying, substantial feel, our signature soft-grip linen finish that’s comfortable to hold and smooth to shuffle, and bold Art Deco card backs that bring a fresh look to a familiar favorite.

Rockets are poker size with a regular index. Poker-size cards are 2.5 by 3.5 inches, the standard size for most home games. Bridge-size cards are a little narrower, at 2.25 by 3.5 inches.

GSM stands for grams per square meter, a measure of how heavy the card stock is. A higher number means a sturdier card with more weight in your hand.

A linen finish gives the card surface a fine, textured pattern, like woven fabric. The texture helps cards slide apart cleanly when you shuffle, fan and deal. Ours is a signature soft-grip linen finish, made to be comfortable in the hand.

Rockets come in classic red and classic blue. Both share the same Art Deco rocket design. Explore the collection.

Play with clean, dry hands and keep drinks off the table. Store the deck in its box, away from heat and moisture, and avoid bending the cards when you shuffle. Shuffle gently, and if you riffle, keep the bend small so the cards stay flat and smooth for longer.
