Copag cards have different versions of this box, although the ones manufactured for the U.S. market mainly have a blue box without a yellow or beige center. This simply reflects a stylistic preference in the United States for cards with white backgrounds for the pips. That being said, many bridge cards with a jumbo index available at Copag Direct have a pleasant soft yellow center.
Some European cards have an index (the symbol of rank and suit in the corner of the card) in each corner. These, however, are not as popular in the U.S. as they are in Europe. Although the Tech Art faces are "four index" cards, they are intended for casinos. The Tech Art indexes are offset so they can be read quickly by special equipment used by blackjack dealers. This helps casinos speed up play. Although the No Peek 21 card have two indexes, the offset indexes perform a similar function.
There are even variants within a type of index. There is an extra-large jumbo index called the magnum index. These are used for low-vision playing cards to make it easier to see the cards. There also is a dual or peek index that is popular with Texas Hold'em players. The small indexes in the corners of the card enable players to peek at hidden cards. And the jumbo indexes on the sides help players see the cards from afar on a large poker table.
Baccarat cards have a French pattern. These will look familiar to most persons, except that there are no indexes and the court cards are a bit different. Copag also makes Spanish playing cards, which look a bit like baccarat cards, but follow the ancient Spanish or Latin pattern. They are popular in Spain and Latin America, although they are becoming increasingly popular in the U.S. Spanish playing cards are used to play traditional games like mus, brisca and truco.
