Mattel163 is enhancing its popular mobile card games – UNO! Mobile, Phase 10: World Tour, and Skip-Bo Mobile – with a groundbreaking inclusivity update: Beyond Colors. This feature addresses the needs of the estimated 300 million people worldwide affected by color blindness.
What is Beyond Colors?
Beyond Colors replaces traditional color-coded cards with distinct shapes (squares, triangles, etc.), ensuring all players can easily differentiate cards regardless of color vision. This thoughtful design ensures fair and enjoyable gameplay for everyone.
Activating Beyond Colors:
Enabling Beyond Colors is simple. In each game (UNO! Mobile, Phase 10: World Tour, and Skip-Bo Mobile), tap your avatar, go to account settings, and select the Beyond Colors deck under card theme options.
Collaboration and Commitment:
Mattel163 collaborated with colorblind gamers throughout the development of Beyond Colors, guaranteeing user-friendly and effective symbols. This initiative reflects Mattel's larger commitment to accessibility, with a goal of making 80% of its games colorblind-accessible by 2025. The company worked with color vision deficiency experts and the gaming community to explore solutions beyond color, including patterns and symbols.
Consistency Across Games:
The shapes used in Beyond Colors are consistent across all three games, making the transition between them seamless. Learn the symbols in one game, and you're ready to play the others! Download UNO! Mobile, Phase 10: World Tour, and Skip-Bo Mobile from the Google Play Store to experience this inclusive update.
