My 84 year old father had to give up bridge last month
due to severe macular degeneration which has made it
impossible for him to see the dummy's cards. He is an
expert bridge player (has several thousand master points)
and the game has been one of his true passions in life.
Although he is probably capable of memorizing the dummy's
cards if they were read to him, he doesn't want to impose
this upon his partner and opponents. If anyone knows of
a method or device or *anything* which would enable him to
continue to play, I would greatly appreciate hearing your
suggestions. Thank-you.
My mother is in a similar situation and she recently purchased 50 packs of large print cards so that the whole club could use them only to find that they were fractionally too big to fit the bridge boards! I've been looking into this and it does seem that large print cards ( even those that are supposed to be bridge cards) are bigger than standard size; so if anyone knows where I can get either standard sized bridge cards with large print or, larger sized bridge boards.......
