Mattel163 enhances accessibility in its mobile card games with the "Beyond Colors" update. This update introduces colorblind-friendly decks for three popular titles: Phase 10: World Tour, Uno! Mobile, and Skip-Bo Mobile.
Instead of relying on traditional color cues, the new decks utilize simple shapes – squares, triangles, circles, and stars – to represent the different card colors. This innovative approach ensures players with color vision deficiencies can easily distinguish between cards.
This inclusive update is a significant step towards making gaming more accessible. The developer collaborated with colorblind gamers to design the shapes, ensuring consistency across all three games. Players can activate the Beyond Colors decks through their in-game account settings under card theme options.
Mattel163 aims for 80% of its game portfolio to be colorblind-accessible by 2025, impacting an estimated 300 million people worldwide affected by colorblindness (source: Cleveland Clinic). This commitment highlights the company's dedication to inclusivity.
For those unfamiliar with the games, Uno! Mobile is the classic card-matching game; Phase 10: World Tour challenges players to complete phases quickly; and Skip-Bo offers a unique solitaire-style experience. All three games are available on the App Store and Google Play. Visit Mattel163's official website or Facebook page for more information on the Beyond Colors update and other news.
