Mattel163, the mobile game developer behind popular titles like Phase 10: World Tour, UNO! Mobile, and Skip-Bo Mobile, has introduced the innovative Beyond Colors update, enhancing accessibility for players with colorblindness. This update incorporates colorblind-friendly decks, where traditional card colors are represented by distinct shapes such as squares, triangles, circles, and stars. This approach ensures that players with color vision deficiencies can easily distinguish between different card colors, enhancing their gaming experience.
The Beyond Colors feature is now available across all three games, marking a significant step towards inclusivity and broader accessibility in mobile gaming. To activate this feature, players can simply tap their avatar in-game to access the account settings and select the Beyond Color deck under the card theme options.
According to the Cleveland Clinic, around 300 million people worldwide are affected by colorblindness. By introducing these specialized decks, Mattel163 is actively working to remove barriers and make their games more enjoyable for a wider audience. The development of the Beyond Color decks involved collaboration with gamers, including those with colorblindness, ensuring the symbols used are both effective and consistent across all three games.
Mattel has set an ambitious goal to make 80% of its games portfolio colorblind accessible by 2025, showcasing their commitment to inclusivity in gaming. UNO! Mobile offers the classic card game experience where players race to discard all their cards. Phase 10: World Tour challenges players to complete phases as quickly as possible, while Skip-Bo Mobile provides a unique twist on the traditional solitaire game.
All three games, UNO! Mobile, Skip-Bo Mobile, and Phase 10: World Tour, are readily available for download on the App Store and Google Play.
