I'd swear I've seen this concept before, though maybe not from Bicycle.  And the ones I saw didn't have indices on them, I think.

So, what's next?  Bicycle Trivial Pursuit?  Bicycle Yu-Gi-Oh!?  Bicycle the Gathering?  Or perhaps Bicycle Monopoly?  Wait - I know!  Bicycle Call of Duty: Black Ops!

(Just havin' a little fun...)  :))

I'm going to pass on these. I don't like how they look at all and they don't look to be anything special.

The other 4 decks I like. As soon as I get the go ahead, I will post pictures on my blog and twitter.
Thanks!

Like the idea, but am not a huge fan of the look. Pass. Can't wait to hear about the other decks, though, BMP. :)

Looking forward to it.


I like the backs on these - they remind me of Aviators.  But I'm not much of a dominoes player and I buy decks I can use and not just stare at!  I wouldn't turn them down as a gift, but I wouldn't buy them, either.

They may not be for everyone, but I  think they're kinda  neat. Just a whole new concept for playing cards really and I think they will be a nice addition to my collection.
Tthanks!

they are cool, but not really usable for anything besides playing dominos. I think USPCC may have to have some blowout sales on these.

There are Bicycle collectors who will by anything with the Bicycle name on it.  You could invent a one-card deck, put "Bicycle" on it, and they'll buy it.  As long as USPC doesn't make too many of them, they'll have no trouble selling them.

Are they bridge-sized?

Not sure but they do look bridge size.
Thanks!

Agreed.  Bridge size has a height/length ratio that's closer to that of a domino, so it seems a logical choice.  Even more logical when you factor the number of "dominos" you'd be holding in one hand during a game, just as you would be playing bridge.  You can hold more narrow cards than wide ones in a hand...

Not sure but they do look bridge size.
Thanks!

This will be great for traveling.

I don't normally open my decks.. I'll need to grab a couple extra of these to use

I'm not a fan of the back design and I don't like bridge sized cards but I love the faces of this deck. They're so different and really cool!

This deck may not be for all Bicycle Card fans, but I know a lot of domino fans who have been asking us for something like this for some time now.
