- Each card uses two cells. There are no numeric or grade 1 indicators used.
- Put the card in your slate and stylus or brailler and braille the top left corner. Take it out and flip it around and reinsert and braille the top left corner. In both cases braille on the “picture” side of the card. This way, no matter which way the user holds the card, the braille will be legible in the top left corner.

Use these letters for the suits:
- c = ♣ clubs
- h = ♥ hearts
- d = ♦ diamonds

- k = king
