Review:I eagerly awaited the arrival of this Star Wars set and I am happy to say I am not disappointed. The set came came tripled box, so it arrived in perfect condition.

(In other words a poker deck). I was really hoping to find some new games using Spanish suited Baraja decks or German suited Magyar decks. Read more
