Bridge playing cards are an essential component to playing bridge. There is a wide range of quality in playing cards available on the market. A game of bridge uses a standard deck of 52 playing cards – it does not need the jokers. These cards range in price from about $1 per deck for really poor quality cards up to $70 per double deck for Kem cards, the best playing cards in the world. Kem cards are made of an acetate plastic, are long lasting, washable and come with a lifetime guarantee. Most bridge suppliers will stock a range of bridge cards. Notable manufacturers and brands besides Kem are Piatnik, Congress, Carta Mundi, Fournier and Bicycle. These other suppliers of bridge cards usually make plastic coated cardboard cards in a variety of patterns and styles. Cardboard bridge cards can also be a good quality. Bridge eBooks are only a new product in the bridge market but already there are hundreds of titles available for reading on your iPad, Kindle or other eBook reader. Bridge eBooks can show pictures of bridge playing cards but really they are best used for learning bridge or improving your bridge technique. Some bridge eBooks available are “Reese on Play”, “Play Bridge in Three Weeks”, “How to Read Your Opponents Cards”, “Playing Bridge is Fun” and “Playing Cards Through Time – a Potted History”. Bridge playing cards have played a famous role in history. It is said Winston Churchill was playing cards during the Battle of Waterloo and Neil Armstrong was playing cards just before he set foot on the moon. Card Holders are an important complement to bridge playing cards. A card holder is a small stand that you place your bridge cards in if you cannot hold your bridge cards. These card holders are particularly useful for people with injuries like a broken hand or arm or if their hands are too arthritic to hold bridge playing cards. Bridge playing card holders can be made of plastic, timber or cardboard but the best ones are usually made from plastic. These card holders are placed on the card table or one’s lap. There are other card holders than are small circular discs that grip the cards in a fan shape. The advantage of these smaller card holders it that are more portable and can fit on your pocket or handbag. Most bridge suppliers should have a wide range of card holders to choose from – they only cost a few dollars each.
