Arianna Asked:

because im trying to make a house of cards and i bought the bicycle rider back playing cards and i noticed the back and front was smooth so i cant balance the second row of cards on top. is it only bicycle that makes it this smooth?

It's a standard finish that all cards come with. Plastic cards retain this smoothness longer. For best results in card house building, use a deck that has been played with a bit. You also might try artifical use and lightly "sand' the cards to rough them up. Doing the edges might be enough for your purposes. A rider back is simply the back of the card.
