The Cards and Games ‘Family’
Ben Cook
The Playing Card Guy
I cannot remember a time when I wasn’t playing cards. Having a deck of cards in my hands feels natural. I don’t play poker or gamble on the cards – that’s not my thing. I am happy playing 500 with friends or Solitaire. It’s just something my parents and grandparents taught me. Playing Cards is just normal.

Product tester and mum
Playing cards and games was part of my childhood, especially during family vacations. So when I had my family, I really wanted them to learn too. They have there electronic games, but I like them to develop the communication and sharing that comes when they move away from the screens

Our family does lots of stuff together. Bella and I, because of Uncle Ben get to try out new stuff. He gets other people to try stuff too, but we tell him we are his favorites. I am learning card tricks and Bella like the sporty games more.
