Playing Cards in Games & Puzzles(1000+)

What are the best cards for playing poker?

Poker playing cards get a workout. Budget-friendly cards may last for one or two games since they are prone to tears and bending after heavy use, which is unacceptable in a poker match. Choose higher-end playing cards or even waterproof cards if you want decks of poker cards that last through many nights of play.

Are playing cards for bridge a different size than playing cards for other games?

Yes. Playing cards for bridge games measure 2.25 inches wide and 3.5 inches tall. The narrow cards make it easier for bridge players to hold multiple cards. Cards for poker are slightly wider at 2.5 inches in width. Most standard playing cards measure 2.44 inches in width, which is a happy compromise if you play multiple types of games with your playing cards.

Are there playing aides to make it easier for people with mobility and sight challenges to enjoy card games?

Large-print playing cards help people with eyesight challenges see the cards more clearly during play. Special playing-card holders securely hold and fan out dealt cards for games like bridge and spades where players must hold multiple cards. Deck shufflers mechanically shuffle playing cards, so there's less wear-and-tear on fingers and hands getting ready for the next round of play.
