I don't understand the negative reviews about this product.  I have ordered three copies of this game and have had each copy come in perfect condition.  The cards are sturdy and I have no problem reading them and feel all of the colors are appropriate and easy to see. None of my cards were printed upside down and the cards feel like typical cards, if not slightly better than normal. The cards have a smooth finish.  If you are a fan of the game Rook, or any of the fun games that exist that require a Rook deck to play, I would not hesitate purchasing this deck.  It is a reasonable deal, includes a card tray, and also includes a booklet and score pad.
