Question

What kinds of games did Helen play with her friends and family

Answer 1

Helen loved going out for a walk, or spinning in her tandem bicycle, and when indoors she would love to play a game of checkers or chess with friends and family. The games were specifically designed for her, as the boards, checkers and the pieces were all made distinguishable. The board had slots to fit in the pieces, while the blacks checkers were flat the whites were slightly curved on the top, and for chess the white pieces were larger than the black ones. She also mentions how in her solitude she would play a game of solitaire, wherein the upper right hand of the cards were marked with Braille symbols, so that she could distinguish them.
