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

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.
