Mattel163 is enhancing its popular mobile card games to promote inclusivity with a groundbreaking update. This update, called "Beyond Colors," introduces colorblind-friendly decks for UNO! Mobile, Phase 10: World Tour, and Skip-Bo Mobile.
What is Beyond Colors?
Addressing the needs of approximately 300 million colorblind individuals globally, Beyond Colors replaces traditional card colors with easily distinguishable shapes, such as squares and triangles. This ensures all players can readily identify different cards.
How to Enable Beyond Colors:
Activating 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 Accessibility:
Mattel163 collaborated with colorblind gamers to develop effective and user-friendly symbols. This initiative underscores Mattel's broader commitment to accessibility, aiming for 80% of its games to be colorblind-accessible by 2025. The development process involved experts in color vision deficiency and the global gaming community, exploring solutions beyond color differentiation, such as patterns and symbols.
Consistent Design:
The shapes used in Beyond Colors are consistent across all three games, ensuring a seamless experience for players. Download UNO! Mobile, Phase 10: World Tour, and Skip-Bo Mobile from the Google Play Store to experience this inclusive update.
