The Card Buddy is patent pending and is designed to make playing cards simpler and keep the game moving along. The Card Buddy provides a place for cards to be organized into one or two piles and easily passed along to the next player. The colored handles on each end of The Card Buddy allow for playing cards to be pushed or pulled along the card playing surface with ease. The low profile design makes it easy for players to have a great view of the cards from anywhere they are sitting. Plus, The Card Buddy now makes it easier to know whose turn it is as The Card Buddy slides from person to person. Perfect for family game night or card games to be played by anyone anywhere. You could describe it as a playing card case; however, the top is open, so it would be better described as a playing card holder.
