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 schemes, these decks utilize easily distinguishable shapes—squares, triangles, circles, and stars—to represent the different colors. This allows players with colorblindness to readily identify each card's value.
The development of these inclusive decks involved collaboration with colorblind gamers, ensuring effective and consistent symbol usage across all three games. The update is easily enabled within the in-game account 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 represents a significant step towards broader accessibility in mobile gaming.
UNO! Mobile, a mobile adaptation of the classic card game, Phase 10: World Tour, a fast-paced phase completion game, and Skip-Bo Mobile, a unique solitaire variant, all benefit from this update. All three games are available on the App Store and Google Play. For more information, visit the official Mattel163 website or follow them on Facebook.
