Mattel163 is boosting inclusivity in its popular mobile card games with a groundbreaking update: Beyond Colors. This innovative feature makes UNO! Mobile, Phase 10: World Tour, and Skip-Bo Mobile more accessible for colorblind players. Affecting approximately 300 million people globally, color blindness is addressed by replacing traditional card colors with easily distinguishable shapes like squares and triangles.
Beyond Colors is simple to activate. Just tap your in-game avatar, access account settings, and enable the Beyond Colors deck within the card theme options. Mattel163 collaborated with colorblind gamers to ensure user-friendly and effective symbols. This initiative reflects Mattel's larger accessibility commitment—a goal of making 80% of their games colorblind-accessible by 2025.
The development involved color vision deficiency experts and the gaming community, resulting in solutions that go beyond color differentiation, incorporating patterns and tactile cues (though the specific tactile elements are not detailed in the source text). Importantly, the shapes are consistent across all three games, ensuring a seamless experience. Download UNO! Mobile, Phase 10: World Tour, and Skip-Bo Mobile from the Google Play Store to experience this inclusive update firsthand.
