After looking at the on line illustration I thought they could be to BOLD and sure enough they are for “Texas-Hold_Em”. So can’t use them. I know there are some available larger than standard, will look further.

These cards are great! A friend of ours has very poor eyesite. He loves pinochle but was having difficulty differentiating between the different cards. The large print pinochle cards didn’t have print quite as large as these, so we bought these and combined 2 decks to make 1 pinochle deck. We’ve played several times with our neighbor and he’s able to easily tell what each card is! These cards have allowed him to continue to participate in our card nights!!

I have very low vision and have been using these cards for many years. I used to purchase them from the Canadian Nations Institute for the Blind but can no longer get them from them. I would recommend these cards for anyone who has low vision and likes to play cards.
Amazon. com is the only place I was able to purchase them from.

I live in Independent Living and this is great for low vision! I bought them for the residents that have trouble seeing.

I bought these cards for my mom who has lost alot of her eyesight. I had bought other large print cards – these were the best! I even liked using them.
