Polyhedral playing card set

Abstract

Provided is a polyhedral playing card set for a pegboard used for rehabilitation activities such as sensorimotor function therapy, cognition therapy, occupational therapy, etc. for nerve palsy patients or hemiplegic patients who have suffered neurological damage. The polyhedral playing cards are matched and inserted into polyhedral recesses formed in the pegboard. Each polyhedral card includes a card design with images and characters, and braille for the visually impaired formed on one side thereof. Because card designs (i.e., playing card designs) including images and characters are represented, patients with stroke-induced grip weakness or hemiplegic nerve palsy can enjoy a game of poker, etc. played with the polyhedral cards using one hand. Due to one side of each polyhedral card having braille formed thereon, each card can be haptically discerned from other cards, which enables participation in card games by the visually impaired.

1 . A polyhedral card set comprising a plurality of polyhedral cards for matching and inserting into polyhedral recesses formed in a pegboard, each polyhedral card depicting a card design including an image or a character on one side thereof. 
     
     
         2 . The polyhedral card set of  claim 1 , wherein the card design further includes braille for visually impaired persons on the one side of each polyhedral card. 
     
     
         3 . The polyhedral card set of  claim 1 , wherein the polyhedral cards are formed of one of plastic, wood, stone, metal, and high polymer compound. 
     
     
         4 . The polyhedral card set of  claim 1 , wherein the image or the character included in the card design on the one side of each polyhedral card is formed through one of printing, carving, casting, and forging. 
     
     
         5 . The polyhedral card set of  claim 1 , wherein the image or the character included in the card design on the one side of each polyhedral card is formed through attaching a printed image or a printed character on the one side. 
     
     
         6 . The polyhedral card set of  claim 2 , wherein the braille included in the card design on the one side of each polyhedral card is formed through casting or carving. 
     
     
         7 . The polyhedral card set of  claim 2 , wherein the polyhedral cards are formed of one of plastic, wood, stone, metal, and high polymer compound.
