Hi
It used to be a box, if they have changed, well.
Regards

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.
