You know stores where Koreans go to get their Kimchee and other Korean foods. They all have them and it should cost like $4-$6 a deck. Just becareful not to drop them on the floor since it's very difficult to pick cards up against smooth surface. That's why they use blankets. Best, Lreflection Hey Josh,

As a young kid my parents would play this card game. I'm 27 years old now, and for whatever reason a week ago I started thinking about this card game, but I did not know the name, my parents always referred to it as bird card and on asking my mom about she thought it was from Korea. Anyways after Google searching every word or phrase I could remember from the game and nearly giving up I typed into Google, with quotes "Korean card games" and up pops this article as the first result. Now I just need to find some place that actually carries them. Thank you so much for this article, as crazy as that sounds…
