Mattel163 enhances accessibility in its mobile card games with the "Beyond Colors" update. This update introduces colorblind-friendly decks for Phase 10: World Tour, Uno! Mobile, and Skip-Bo Mobile.
Instead of relying on traditional colors, these decks utilize shapes – squares, triangles, circles, and stars – to represent the different colors, ensuring clear distinction for colorblind players. This inclusive feature is easily enabled within each game's account settings under card theme options.
This initiative aims to broaden accessibility for the approximately 300 million people worldwide affected by colorblindness (source: Cleveland Clinic). The consistent symbol system across all three games simplifies the learning curve. Mattel163 plans to expand colorblind accessibility to 80% of its game portfolio by 2025.
For those unfamiliar, Uno! Mobile is the digital adaptation of the classic card-matching game; Phase 10: World Tour presents a phase-based competitive challenge; and Skip-Bo Mobile offers a unique take on solitaire. All three games are available on the App Store and Google Play. Visit Mattel163's official website or Facebook page for more information.
