Mattel163 enhances accessibility in its mobile card games with the "Beyond Colors" update. This update introduces colorblind-friendly decks for three popular titles: Phase 10: World Tour, Uno! Mobile, and Skip-Bo Mobile.
Instead of relying on traditional color cues, the new decks utilize distinct shapes—squares, triangles, circles, and stars—to represent the colors red, blue, green, and yellow respectively. This simple yet effective change ensures players with colorblindness can easily distinguish between cards.
The developer collaborated with colorblind gamers to create these inclusive decks, ensuring the symbols are consistent across all three games. Activating the Beyond Colors decks is straightforward: access your in-game account settings via your avatar and select the new deck theme.
This initiative reflects Mattel163's commitment to inclusivity. With approximately 300 million people worldwide affected by colorblindness (according to the Cleveland Clinic), this update significantly broadens the accessibility of these popular mobile games. Mattel aims to make 80% of its game portfolio colorblind-accessible by 2025.
For those unfamiliar, Uno! Mobile is the digital version of the classic card-matching game; Phase 10: World Tour challenges players to complete sets; and Skip-Bo offers a unique solitaire-style experience. All three games are available on the App Store and Google Play. Visit Mattel163's official website or Facebook page for more information on the Beyond Colors update and other news.
