Mattel163 is enhancing inclusivity in its popular mobile card games with a groundbreaking update: Beyond Colors. This feature makes UNO! Mobile, Phase 10: World Tour, and Skip-Bo Mobile more accessible to the estimated 300 million people worldwide affected by color blindness.
What is Beyond Colors?
Beyond Colors replaces traditional color-coded cards with distinct shapes—squares, triangles, and others—allowing all players to easily differentiate cards. This thoughtful design ensures a fair and enjoyable gaming experience for everyone.
Enabling Beyond Colors:
Activating Beyond Colors is simple. In each game (UNO! Mobile, Phase 10: World Tour, and Skip-Bo Mobile), tap your avatar, go to account settings, and select the Beyond Colors deck under card theme options.
Collaboration and Accessibility:
Mattel163 collaborated with color-blind gamers to develop user-friendly symbols. This initiative reflects Mattel's broader commitment to accessibility, with a goal of making 80% of its games colorblind-accessible by 2025. The development process involved color vision deficiency experts and the global gaming community, exploring solutions beyond color to distinguish cards, including patterns and symbols.
Consistent Design:
The shapes used in Beyond Colors are consistent across all three games, ensuring a seamless transition between them. Master the symbols in one game, and you're ready to play the others! Download UNO! Mobile, Phase 10: World Tour, and Skip-Bo Mobile from the Google Play Store to experience this inclusive update.
