Any sources for small cards?

Postby TonyB » Nov 9th, '09, 23:51



My son is eleven, and has been messing with cards for a while now. However he has small hands and is asking are there any decks which are a small bit smaller than normal. Bridge size is a bit large, but he doesn't want the tiny half-size decks either. A three quarter size, if such a thing is available.
Any suggestions? Tony.

I 'think' I saw slightly smaller decks in a crappy magic set in the local €2 shop Tony, you might want to check them out. Also take a look in some of the local bookshops, there is a range of kids card games I saw recently (In a bookshop in Tralee) and If I remember correctly, they were a bit smaller than bridge anyway.

Sure what does he need cards for anyway? Toilet seats are a grand size for any age =P

How about Patience cards? I'm sure I've seen those on offer and they look to be smaller than Bridge but larger than half size Bikes. Would www.cards4magic.co.uk be able to help?

Nah, scrub that idea. Patience cards (57mm x 38mm and 46mm x 34mm) are smaller than mini Bikes (63mm x 43mm)!
