Top 8 Fun, hip, and cool playing cards

1. Moon, Earth & more Round Playing Cards

My favorite of the fun cards are the earth & moon round cards. Not the most practical, but striking from both sides, and a great gift for a stargazer or a poker player.

2. Grateful Dead Playing Cards

At first, you may not think that the Dead & poker are a natural match, but within their catalog are tons of great gambling songs like "Deal" and "Loser," which would make a natural playlist to accompany a poker night with these cards.

3. Mini Playing Cards

At just 1" x 1 1/2" each, these itty bitty mini playing cards can be used on the tiniest airplane tray, on the smallest side table, or wherever you'd like.

4. French Kitty Tiki Playing Cards

This adorable illustrated cards not only have cute pics of the fancy feline, "French Kitty," but also are Tiki-shaped and come in a lovely tin.

5. Magnetic Playing Cards

Not only can you stick these cards to your fridge, these magnetic cards come with a special playing surface so you can use these cards outside on a breezy day without worrying your game will blow away.

6. Simpsons Playing Cards

Each of the 54 cards in this Simpsons deck has a different excerpt from the show on it. Mmmmm... Simpsons excerpts and poker....

7. Candy Corn Shaped Playing Cards

For candy lovers and Halloween parties, deal out these sweet triangular cards. The back is printed with a smiling piece of candy corn and the card faces are in orange & black, with spiders and pumpkins for suits.

8. Wine Playing Cards

You usually think about poker & beer, but why not class it up and go with wine -- and this deck of wine playing cards. Each red or white wine deck features 52 different red or white wine grapes & cards describe a different grape, from origins to characteristics, and suggest what to eat with it.
