Over Christmas we were pleased and surprised to see that we sent out so many accessories as gifts to people to enable those with difficulties such as poor eyesight or arthritic hands to continue to play cards – and we have now taken an order from a retirement home for more!

The Warden at the home said that one resident had bought the card holder and the other residents had asked her to order more so that they could also play again without difficulty.

We also have “Real Big Playing Cards“.  these are really easy to see cards, and also easy to hold – (they are 7″ x 5.5″) and the Lo Vision Playing Cards, with extra large numbers and symbols, colour coded by suit.  These can be used by people with only 5 % normal vision, so could be a life-saver for a bridge player! (Or perhaps a Poker player?)

I also have the Automatic Card Shuffler – I have never managed to shuffle cards effectively, this is a godsend  - it will shuffle two decks so you can play Canasta!
