Mattel163 enhances accessibility for its mobile card games with the launch of "Beyond Colors," a groundbreaking update introducing colorblind-friendly decks to UNO! Mobile, Skip-Bo Mobile, and Phase 10: World Tour. This innovative feature replaces traditional color cues with easily distinguishable shapes – squares, triangles, circles, and stars – ensuring inclusivity for players with color vision deficiency.
This update directly addresses the needs of approximately 300 million people worldwide affected by colorblindness, as reported by the Cleveland Clinic. By employing simple, universally understood shapes, Mattel163 effectively removes a significant barrier to gameplay, broadening the appeal and accessibility of these popular titles.
The Beyond Colors decks are seamlessly integrated; players can activate this option within their in-game account settings under card theme preferences. The consistent use of shapes across all three games ensures a familiar and intuitive experience. This commitment to accessibility extends beyond this immediate update; Mattel163 aims to achieve colorblind accessibility for 80% of its game portfolio by 2025.
UNO! Mobile, faithfully recreating the classic card game, Skip-Bo Mobile, with its unique solitaire twist, and Phase 10: World Tour, the fast-paced phase-completion challenge, are all available for download on the App Store and Google Play.
