Cats Pips and Paws - Hidden Image Playing Cards featuring Cats
Description
Here is a cool deck from Newt's Games & Playing Cards and "THE" Playing Card Artist, Peter Wood called Cats Pips and Paws which features Hidden Images on the card face of each card with cute cats. We have created Cats Pips and Paws with "hidden images" to add a fun dimension to card playing. The way it works is we have hidden all of the suits (also called pips) on each card. So basically, if you have the 5 of diamonds, then the 5 diamonds are actually "hidden" within the image around or on the cat. Are you good enough to find them all? Likewise, if you have the 4 of Spades, there are 4 spades "hidden" within the image or actually on the cat.
ABOUT THIS TYPE OF ART:
This type of art isn't really new as it has been around since the late 1800s. We just love this type of art so much that we continue to create more decks with it. In the "old days" this type of art was called "semi-transformational" but we call it "hidden images". "Semi-transformation" just means that the suit signs or "pips" are hidden in the picture...which is exactly what these decks do. They are 'transformed' in a subtle and fun way just like they did in the late 1800s.
Are you good enough to find all of the hearts, clubs, diamonds and spades?
ABOUT THE DECK:
This fun deck of playing cards features cats as the play, rest, explore and just act like cats do. The cards are poker sized (2-1/2" x 3-1/2") and can be used for all your standard card games. This is just a normal deck of playing cards with custom faces and "hidden images" to add to the fun.

What is the Difference between Bridge and Poker Sized Playing Cards?
Often times the size of a playing card is referred to as a "narrow" or "wide" deck of cards. While the narrow/bridge decks (2-1/4" x 3-1/2") are called "bridge" size, the wide/poker decks (2-1/2" x 3-1/2") are called "poker" sized.
FACT: BOTH sizes are usable for any normal card game as they are really just normal decks that are a different width. So it really doesn't make any difference which size deck you choose.
OTHER THOUGHTS:
- It is said that the bridge sized decks were made for the "ladies" so that it was easier to hold.
- Often times the bridge or narrow sized decks do make it easier to hold more cards in your hand.
- In the U.S. the "poker" sized are considered the "normal" size.
- In pretty much the rest of the world, the "bridge" sized cards are considered the "normal" size.
Again, please remember that you can use the "bridge" or "poker" sized decks for pretty much any card game. The only difference is one is a 1/4" narrower than the other.
Other Sizes...
Some times we offer various other "sizes" of playing cards. They may be "enlarged" or larger than normal decks or they may also be smaller than normal decks.
Another varience on the "size" would be what we call "shaped" cards. The shaped cards have taken various shapes over the years and change in popularity. They do offer a nice change of pace to a normal deck of cards.
