Stackable cards

Abstract

A stackable playing card having a non-slip coating applied to at least one of the peripheral edges of the playing card.

1 . A stackable playing card, comprising:
 a card body, said card body defining a periphery comprising a first side opposite a second side and a first end opposite a second end, said card body further comprising a card face having a low friction finish opposite to a card back having a low friction finish; and   a non-slip material extending from at least a portion of said card periphery.   
   
   
       2 . The stackable playing card of  claim 1 , wherein said non-slip material extends from the entire periphery. 
   
   
       3 . The stackable playing card of  claim 1 , wherein said non-slip material extends from at least one of said sides and at least one of said ends. 
   
   
       4 . The stackable playing card of  claim 1 , wherein said non-slip material is selected from the group consisting of rubber, silicone, and plastic. 
   
   
       5 . The stackable playing card of  claim 1 , wherein said non-slip material comprises a sprayed on coating. 
   
   
       6 . The stackable playing card of  claim 1 , wherein said non-slip material is applied to said periphery by roll-on application. 
   
   
       7 . The stackable playing card of  claim 1 , wherein said non-slip material comprises a strip of material attached to said periphery. 
   
   
       8 . The stackable playing card of  claim 1 , wherein said non-slip material does not contact said face or said back. 
   
   
       9 . The stackable playing card of  claim 1 , wherein said card face has a plane and said card back has a plane, wherein said planes are generally parallel to one another, and wherein said non-slip material does not cross the plane of said face or the plane of said back. 
   
   
       10 . The stackable playing card of  claim 1 , wherein said card face has a plane and said card back has a plane, wherein said planes are generally parallel to one another, and wherein said non-slip material is tapered away from the plane of said face and the plane of said back. 
   
   
       11 . The stackable playing card of  claim 1 , wherein said non-slip material  14  is generally recessed in relationship to the plane of the face and the plane of the back. 
   
   
       12 . The stackable playing card of  claim 1 , wherein said back comprises indicia depicting architectural plans for building a house of cards. 
   
   
       13 . A stackable playing card, comprising:
 a card body, said card body defining a periphery comprising a first side opposite a second side and a first end opposite a second end, said card body further comprising a card face having a low friction finish opposite to a card back having a low friction finish; and   a non-slip material extending from at least one of said sides and at least one of said ends.   
   
   
       14 . The stackable playing card of  claim 1 , wherein said non-slip material extends from the entire periphery. 
   
   
       15 . The stackable playing card of  claim 13 , wherein said non-slip material does not contact said face or said back. 
   
   
       16 . The stackable playing card of  claim 13 , wherein said card face has a plane and said card back has a plane, wherein said planes are generally parallel to one another, and wherein said non-slip material does not cross the plane of said face or the plane of said back. 
   
   
       17 . The stackable playing card of  claim 13 , wherein said non-slip material does not contact said face or said back, and wherein said card face has a plane and said card back has a plane, wherein said planes are generally parallel to one another, and wherein said non-slip material does not cross the plane of said face or the plane of said back. 
   
   
       18 . The stackable playing card of  claim 16 , wherein said non-slip material is tapered away from the plane of said face and the plane of said back. 
   
   
       19 . The stackable playing card of  claim 13 , wherein said back comprises indicia depicting architectural plans for building a house of cards. 
   
   
       20 . A stackable playing card, comprising:
 a card body, said card body defining a periphery comprising a first side opposite a second side and a first end opposite a second end, said card body further comprising a card face having a low friction finish opposite to a card back having a low friction finish, wherein said card back comprises indicia depicting architectural plans for building a house of cards; and   a non-slip material extending from at least a portion of said card periphery.
