The only bad thing I can say is that there is no option for a higher rating. So, I'll have to settle for 'Five'. It is so hard to find what speaks to you and I have researched many sites (internet my only shopping option) and antagonized over the thought that I would ever find a deck that did so. But then, thanks to Philip and Stephanie Carr-Gomm along with the phenomenal artistic talent of Will Worthington, I came across the gift of this exquisite, visually stunning and powerful deck. In studying the cards, there are images within images:)
Yes, the cards are large and for the artwork I wouldn't have them any other way. Their size is stated up front in the product details so it's not like a hidden factor. I have long hands/fingers for a female but have found there's more than one way around trying to shuffle a large deck of cards other than in the normally thought of fashion. Us old Army broads adapt and overcome :) Split the deck in half (so it's like you have two). Take one of the halves and split in half again and then take and shuffle/fan together from the 'side width' versus the 'long width' of the cards. Then do the same with the other half. Once the two halves have been separately/sufficiently shuffled; you can then, if you wish, again using the 'side width' shuffle method, shuffle the two halves together as you would do with a regular size deck. This is just my two cents in the matter and hope that it makes some sense and helps. And yes, the deck is of a very sturdy, high-quality card stock.
There are so many other reviews here that have described this work more poignantly than I could ever hope to. My advice; read them, look at the images and if they speak to you, snap them up in a heartbeat. You will have a powerful friend and ally in these cards.
