Hi Peter
Yes you could, quite easily, with a Perkins and some time. But why should
you when the RNIB sell them on their online shop? I'm not having a pop,
just agreeing with Ibrahim that it's not fair.
Kind Regards,
Jackie Cairns

I have no idea what a pack of cards costs in an ordinary shop, but my
suggestion is just to buy one and obviously with sighted assistance, Braille
them.

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.
