Mobile game developer Mattel163 has introduced a groundbreaking update named Beyond Colors to three of its popular card games: Phase 10: World Tour, UNO! Mobile, and Skip-Bo Mobile. This update enhances the inclusivity and accessibility of these games by introducing colorblind-friendly decks. These decks utilize basic shapes such as squares and triangles to represent the traditional card colors, making it easier for colorblind individuals to distinguish between them.
To enable the Beyond Colors feature, players can simply tap on their avatar within the game to access their account settings and select the Beyond Color deck under the card theme options. This thoughtful update demonstrates Mattel163's commitment to broadening the accessibility of its titles, ensuring a more inclusive gaming experience for everyone.
According to the Cleveland Clinic, approximately 300 million people worldwide are affected by colorblindness. By incorporating these new deck options, Mattel163 aims to eliminate barriers and make its games, including UNO! Mobile, accessible to a larger audience.
In developing the Beyond Color decks, Mattel163 collaborated with gamers, including those with color vision deficiencies, ensuring the symbols used are consistent across all three titles for ease of use. Mattel has ambitiously set a goal to make 80% of its game portfolio colorblind accessible by 2025.
UNO! Mobile offers a digital version of the classic card game where players aim to be the first 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 available for download on the App Store and Google Play. For more information about Mattel163 and the Beyond Colors update, visit their official website or follow them on Facebook to stay updated with the latest news.
