4 IN 1 FUN PACK retails for $4.00 and contains four classic kids card games:  Old Maid (for 2-6 players), Memory (for 2-6 players), Go Fish (for 2-4 players) and Matching (for 2-4 players).   Old Maid uses cards depicting fruits and vegetables for making pairs and learning to take turns.  Memory uses cards depicting animals to teach memory recall and animal identification.  Go Fish uses cards depicting colorful fish to teach number values and counting.  The cards are all designed for smaller hands so they are easy for little ones to hold.

BICYCLE has many new designs on their decks of cards that are so beautiful you could consider them works of art.  Photos do not do these cards justice.  

First we have the BICYCLE DRAGON DECK.  This retails for $3.99 and features beautiful hand drawn designs.  These cards would be a hit for any dragon lover. 

Next we have the BICYCLE AUREO DECK.  This retails for $4.99 and features a design inspired by an illustration by Leonardo Da Vinci.  Directly quoting from the description on Bicycle's website:   "In the early 1500s Leonardo Da Vinci illustrated 'La Divina' (The Divine Proportion) a book written by mathematician Luca Pacioli that described a mathematical theory called 'The Golden Ratio' which was used in Renaissance paintings and sculptures to achieve balance and beauty.  Da Vinci later called this section aurea or the Golden section. The gold foil and swirl designs of the tuck bring the Golden ratio to life in this unique deck of cards."

Next we have the BICYCLE STARGAZER SUNSPOT DECK.  This retails for $4.99 and features a large yellow and orange glowing sun on a black background.  They are truly beautiful cards with their bright eye catching design.

And finally we have the BICYCLE FOIL BACK CRIMSON DECK and the BICYCLE FOIL BACK COBALT DECK.  These retail for $9.99 each and feature a shiny foil back in crimson red and cobalt blue.  The colors are so beautiful and reflects the light as you play.
