Mattel163 enhances accessibility for its mobile card games, UNO! Mobile, Skip-Bo Mobile, and Phase 10: World Tour, with the introduction of "Beyond Colors" decks. This inclusive update replaces traditional color-coded cards with shape-based representations – squares, triangles, circles, and stars – making gameplay significantly easier for colorblind players.
The new decks utilize universally consistent symbols across all three games, ensuring a seamless experience. This initiative directly addresses the needs of approximately 300 million individuals worldwide affected by colorblindness (according to the Cleveland Clinic). Activating the Beyond Colors decks is simple: access in-game account settings via your avatar and select the alternative card theme.
Mattel163's commitment to inclusivity extends beyond this update. The company has set an ambitious goal of making 80% of its game portfolio colorblind-accessible by 2025. This demonstrates a proactive approach to creating more equitable gaming experiences.
The updated games offer familiar gameplay, with UNO! Mobile retaining its classic card-discarding challenge, Phase 10: World Tour focusing on rapid phase completion, and Skip-Bo Mobile providing a unique solitaire-style twist.
