Instructor: Like thousands of other people,
you love playing card games with family and friends.
Well, you don't have to let your level of vision get
in the way of your love of the game.
Stick with us and we'll walk you through some helpful tips
and ideas to play the night away.
First off, if you've got low vision,
good lighting is always essential.
So if you need more light at a lamp with a flexible arm,
so you can adjust with a light hits your cards
and avoid shadows and glare.
If you play card games around the kitchen
or dining room table,
there's usually an overhead light source.
Good lighting makes gameplay easier
and playing seated around a table,
keeps the draw and discard piles within reach.
Try and covering the table
with a solid colored cloth table cover.
If the cards you're using have white backgrounds,
then a darker tablecloth gives you better contrast.
Also a tablecloth keeps the cards
from moving around too much if you need to lay them out
in front of you during gameplay.
