Tecmo originally gave these away along with preorders for Xbox Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball but we never got any. Suppliers in Japan then started supplying the cards by themselves and NCS purchased a few cases for our stateside customers.

Each card features a different image of the four different DOA girls. For example, the Ace of Hearts features Kasumi in a light-pink two-piece and the Two of Hearts has our girl in a Stars 'n Stripes bikini set. Turning our attention to Hitomi, her Ace of Clubs bikini ensemble features a shiny pink number and she goes with a flowery print on the Two of Clubs.

The cards are too thin and flimsy to use in a game of Black Jack or Poker but we appreciate them for what they are: gratuitous eye candy for admirers of healthy and voluptuous volleyball playing amazons.
