I've been using an ordinary deck of cards with Brother Against Brother and All The Kings Men (Rules); I wanted something more topical and specific. Found this deck on Amazon, ordered it and received today: link Standard card deck printed on heavy gauge coated paper. Full color printing is sharp and easy to read. The back of each card has either a color or black and white image with a description below and a color flag image on top.
The card numbers / suites are muted (in the background) but easily read.
The deck comes in a colorful sturdy cardboard box. Recommended if your games require a card deck. |

Both the Pharo deck and the Highlanders deck are other good choices. Just do a check on Amazon for "civil war playing cards". |

There are reproduction card decks of the types actually in use during the Civil War, and some feature prominent Generals/Personalities in lieu of the traditional images. Here are some easy links to see for yourselves! link auction auction link When it comes to period "feel," such decks would be even better! TVAG |
