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 addresses the needs of the estimated 300 million colorblind individuals worldwide.

Beyond Colors: A Game Changer for Colorblind Players

The update replaces traditional color-coded cards in UNO! Mobile, Phase 10: World Tour, and Skip-Bo Mobile with distinct shapes (squares, triangles, etc.), ensuring clear card differentiation for all players. This isn't just a simple color swap; Mattel163 collaborated with colorblind gamers to guarantee usability and effectiveness.

Enabling Beyond Colors:

Activating this feature is easy. Simply access your in-game avatar, go to account settings, and select the "Beyond Colors" deck within the card theme options.

Mattel's Commitment to Accessibility:

This initiative reflects Mattel's broader commitment to accessibility. The company aims to make 80% of its games colorblind-accessible by 2025. Development involved collaboration with color vision deficiency experts and the gaming community, exploring solutions beyond color cues, such as patterns and tactile symbols.

Consistent Across Games:

The shape system is consistent across all three games (UNO! Mobile, Phase 10: World Tour, and Skip-Bo Mobile), making the transition between them seamless.
