Ibrahim,
Obviously you have failed to take into regard the high quality box the cards
come in..... though it is to protect the less than sufficient quality of the
playing cards, so the bumps don't get flattened!!
It's a sod, but I agree with Peter, buy a good quality set of cards, the
vinyl ones which will give a good sharpness of Braille and mark them
yourself. You can also come up with a better system of ID..
Kindest,
Mike

Subject: [access-uk] Chancing the cards?
Hi Everyone.
I know we?ve discussed games on here in the past, so I thought I?d raise
this issue as it raises my hackles somewhat. I was on the RNIB online shop
this morning looking for brailed playing cards, and was shocked to discover
that these cards cost £7.26, while the standard printed cards cost less than
half this at £3.5. For an organisation that claims to promote equal access,
this is hardly an encouragement to take up a new hobbies or interest as it
penalises those of us who must use braille. A couple of sets of these cards
would set me back a Wapping £14.5, an outrageous amount of money considering
that the work required to adapt these cards IE putting a suit and numeric
denominator on each hardly merits such an inflated price. Thoughts anyone?
All the best, Ibrahim.
