Reddit mentions of Yellow Mountain Imports Panorama Wooden Playing Card Holders - Set of 4

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B017IG19EY?psc=1

I found this one which is a bit less expensive and it looks like it gives you four of them. Depending on how deep the groove the cards sit in is he might need to pull them out to check P/T, but it wouldn't block any rules text.

Other suggestion: Playing card holders.

They're helpful for children, elderly people, anyone with limited mobility or dexterity, and anyone who just doesn't like holding a giant fistfull of cards.

They come at every price point, from $7/4 (link) to $16/4 (link) to a full set of five walnut holders (and an extra, designed specially for TTR) for $50 (link).

I would be SUPER STOKED to get some as gifts, and there are cool DIY versions, too.

u/slashbored covered the bulk of the options, for sure. I'll underline that each game will likely want something slightly different. At least for maximum efficiency, there isn't a one size fits all so counting 12 games and buying 12 Planos may not be the best idea.

Considering the setup, play, and clean-up processes and looking to eliminate time bottlenecks will help guide you. For example, multi-section Plano style boxes are really cool...for some things. But keeping 5 denominations of coins all in separate compartments adds a lot of clean-up time when players (or you) have to re-sort the huge pile of individual coins used throughout the game back into their individual sections. In that case, it's easier to shift all that time to the players, a few seconds here and there fishing their change out from a mixed bowl or two through out the game and reduce the clean-up to just seconds of dumping the bowl into a single ziploc.

On the other extreme, searching for one or two chits of a particular unit type in a whole pile of chits (of many unit types) is silly; multi-section boxes or GMT style counter trays are definitely the way to go.

I'd recommend must haves as:

• set of silicon muffin cups or small condiment cups or dishes to hold bits during play
  
  
• 6-12 single section tupperware style boxes in the 2-3" range (store all the pieces for a single player in one, pass out, play, clean-up easy-peasy)
  
  
• 25-50 small ziplocs in two sizes, ~3x4" and ~1x2"
  
  Other options for organization during play (links for example, rather than specific product recommendations):
  
  
• lazy suzans or make-up caddies
  
  
• card stands or business card holders
  
  
• dice trays
  
  Inside the box:
  
  
• alternative to Plano, off-brand bead and jewelry organizers are often thinner, lighter plastic in a greater variety of dimensions for more options and easier to fit in game boxes
  
  
• Deck boxes, also available in several other sizes
  
  
• Dry Vinyl Tape, only sticks to itself. Good alternative to deck boxes and really great for large tiles and map pieces, etc.
  
  

I agree - I'd be thrilled to get a nice set of wooden card holders. Quick search finds these for $15 on Amazon.

I use these for games with a lot of cards as my hands get tired but they may work for your situation. They don’t bend the cards although the holder is slightly curved.

We recently got these and we love them!

Definitely talk to the judges ahead of time. But you have a legit handicap so I would be very surprised if they don't accommodate you.

The easiest solution is to just bring a friend/family member along with you to be your hands. It should be allowed, just notify the judges first. If that's not feasible or just you'd rather not, here are my suggestions:

Shuffling is actually not a problem at all, since your opponent is free to cut/re-shuffle your deck after any time you shuffle, to prevent cheating. So you'll just cut out the part where you shuffle ask your opponent to do all your shuffling. Just explain the situation to them. Again, I would be very surprised if someone wasn't willing to help out.

For holding your cards during a game, you could probably bring something like this.

Drafting does seem like a challenge. My solution is to ask the person drafting immediately before you to not put the cards down on the table. Rather, ask them to hold them for you while you look at the cards. They just picked so they're not gaining any info by watching you look at the cards. Once you decide on a pick, remember where in the pack your card is (like, how many cards from the back it's positioned) and ask them to put the cards facedown on the table. Then slide your card out, and push the pile along to the next drafter.

I went through like 4 different in-your-hand card holders before finding one that my kids could manage. It ended up being a wooden bar intended for displaying postcards in a Montessori classroom.

These on Amazon look similar, and about half what I paid for the Montessori version.
