Mattel163 Drops Colourblind-Friendly Update ‘Beyond Colors’ In Skip-Bo Mobile, UNO! Mobile And Phase 10: World Tour

Mattel163 enhances inclusivity in popular mobile card games with its "Beyond Colors" update. This significant accessibility feature benefits the estimated 300 million individuals worldwide affected by color blindness.

Beyond Colors: A Clearer Game for All

The update replaces traditional color-coded cards with distinct shapes (squares, triangles, etc.) in UNO! Mobile, Phase 10: World Tour, and Skip-Bo Mobile. This ensures all players can easily differentiate cards, regardless of color vision.

Enabling Beyond Colors:

Activating Beyond Colors is simple:

1. Tap your in-game avatar.
2. Go to account settings.
3. Enable the "Beyond Colors" deck under card theme options.

Collaboration for Inclusivity:

Mattel163 collaborated with colorblind gamers to ensure the new symbols are intuitive and effective. This initiative reflects Mattel's broader commitment to accessibility, aiming for 80% of its games to be colorblind-accessible by 2025. The development involved color vision deficiency experts and the gaming community, exploring solutions beyond color differentiation, such as patterns and tactile cues.

Consistent Across Games:

The shapes used in Beyond Colors are consistent across all three games (UNO! Mobile, Phase 10: World Tour, and Skip-Bo Mobile), providing a unified experience.
