How can I make cards and games easier to use if I have multiple sclerosis?

Here are some tips to help you play cards and board games if you have multiple sclerosis (MS): Jumbo playing cards are available at many drugstores and are easier to use than regular cards. A "crooked" deck might give you a better grip as you shuffle, stack, and deal. The outward-pointing upper right corner of each card makes it easier to select a single card from your hand.

To make it easier to hold cards, take an old shoebox, remove the top, and put the bottom of the box inside the cover. The space between the cover and the side of the shoebox holds the cards nicely. If you prefer, you may purchase a commercially available card holder: The fan-shaped design helps those with limited finger strength and dexterity by holding cards snugly while providing a clear view of cards.

An automatic card shuffler makes it easy to shuffle cards up to two decks at a time. A revolving game board compensates for limited reach in such games as Parcheesi, Scrabble, or jigsaw puzzles. You can purchase your own base and put a piece of plywood on the turntable or use a kitchen lazy susan for turning the game board.

Some games are available in deluxe versions that use all the senses to aid play. For example: The Scrabble Deluxe Edition has ridges that hold the tiles in place and a board that rotates to face the person playing the new word. Tactile overlays may be added to the tiles and board to further aid play, especially for those with visual impairments.

Other adapted games are available like bingo, Chinese checkers, tic-tac-toe, Uno, dominoes, playing cards, chess and checkers. If you have trouble handling game pieces, substitute larger items like Lego blocks, empty plastic pill bottles, or little plastic finger puppets. To adapt game pieces like those that come with games such as Candyland, glue a piece of cardboard on the bottom to make the base slightly larger.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
