Mattel's Games Go Colorblind-Inclusive
Mattel163 is enhancing its popular card games to promote inclusivity with a groundbreaking update: Beyond Colors. This feature makes UNO! Mobile, Phase 10: World Tour, and Skip-Bo Mobile more accessible for colorblind players.
What is Beyond Colors?
Addressing the needs of approximately 300 million colorblind individuals worldwide, Beyond Colors replaces traditional card colors with distinct shapes (squares, triangles, etc.). This ensures all players can easily differentiate between cards.
Enabling Beyond Colors:
Activating this feature is simple: tap your in-game avatar, go to account settings, and select the Beyond Colors deck under card theme options.
Collaboration and Accessibility:
Mattel163 collaborated with colorblind gamers to ensure the new symbols are user-friendly and effective. This initiative reflects Mattel's broader accessibility commitment—aiming for 80% of its games to be colorblind-accessible by 2025. The development involved experts in color vision deficiency and the gaming community, exploring solutions beyond color, such as patterns and tactile cues.
Consistent Design:
The shapes used are consistent across all three games (UNO! Mobile, Phase 10: World Tour, and Skip-Bo Mobile), making it easy to transition between them. Download these games from the Google Play Store today!
