Mattel163 enhances accessibility in its mobile card games with the Beyond Colors update. This update introduces colorblind-friendly decks to 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 colors. This allows players with colorblindness to easily distinguish between cards.
The development of these decks involved collaboration with colorblind gamers to ensure effective and consistent symbol representation across all three games. The update can be enabled through in-game avatar settings under card theme options.
This initiative reflects Mattel163's commitment to inclusivity. The company aims to make 80% of its game portfolio colorblind-accessible by 2025, impacting an estimated 300 million colorblind individuals worldwide. This update significantly expands accessibility for players of UNO! Mobile, Skip-Bo Mobile, and Phase 10: World Tour, available on the App Store and Google Play.
