Mattel163 enhances accessibility for its mobile card games with the launch of "Beyond Colors," a groundbreaking update introducing colorblind-friendly decks for UNO! Mobile, Skip-Bo Mobile, and Phase 10: World Tour. This innovative feature replaces traditional color-coded cards with easily distinguishable shapes – squares, triangles, circles, and stars – representing the respective colors. This design ensures players with color vision deficiency can seamlessly participate in gameplay.
The update, now live, aims to foster inclusivity and broaden accessibility for the estimated 300 million colorblind individuals globally (source: Cleveland Clinic). Enabling the Beyond Colors deck is straightforward; simply access in-game account settings via your avatar and select the new card theme. The consistent symbolism across all three games simplifies the transition for players.
Mattel163 collaborated directly with colorblind gamers to develop these decks, ensuring optimal usability and a positive gaming experience. The company has also committed to making 80% of its game portfolio colorblind-accessible by 2025.
These popular mobile titles – UNO! Mobile (the classic card-discarding game), Phase 10: World Tour (a phase-based competition), and Skip-Bo Mobile (a unique solitaire variation) – are available on both the App Store and Google Play.
