The old card game - (c) 2003 Mattel, Inc. El Segundo, CA 90245 USA MADE IN BELGIUM. - Has an excellent for young and old readable design (suitable for people with visual impairments).
The new card game - (c) 2011 Mattel. MADE IN CHINA. Manufactured for and imported into the EU by: Mattel Europe BV, nacelle 1, 1186MJ Amstelveen, Netherlands. - Is in a simple design
Disaster - white figures on a dark background - for people with poor eyesight difficult to read. Even worse is the "SKIP-BO" card, Sch ... Brown writing on Sch ... brown background.
In addition, the new playing cards do not match the standard for playing cards, they are in width and height each 1 mm too small and the thickness is about 0.1 mm less than normal and
the maps are on top too soft and bends easily.
No one would ever think to SKAT game or poker game to offer cards that do not conform to the norm!
The old card game is for 8 years in use and has appropriate signs of wear, but it is still capable of playing and there are no damaged or bent cards!
The new card game has a bent card after 8 weeks use. Lange will not keep the new cards.
By the way, the company logo of Mattel has changed (see boxes): -> Old: "MATTEL" -> New: "Mattel Games"
The "SKIP-BO" card game has otherwise for us a great fun factor, whether for two or five. Our shortest round lasted 10 minutes and the longest 1.5 hours
(Regardless of the number of players).
