Mattel163 Drops Colourblind-Friendly Update ‘Beyond Colors’ In Skip-Bo Mobile, UNO! Mobile And Phase 10: World Tour

Mattel163 is enhancing its popular card games for greater inclusivity 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 card colors with distinct shapes—squares, triangles, etc.—allowing all players to easily differentiate cards. This thoughtful design ensures clear gameplay for everyone.

How to Activate Beyond Colors:

Enabling Beyond Colors is simple. Just tap your in-game avatar, go to account settings, and select the Beyond Colors deck under card theme options.

Collaboration and Accessibility:

Mattel163 partnered with color-blind gamers to develop user-friendly symbols. This initiative reflects Mattel's wider commitment to accessibility; they aim for 80% of their games to be colorblind-accessible by 2025. The development involved color vision deficiency experts and the global gaming community, exploring solutions beyond color, including patterns and symbols.

The shapes used are consistent across all three games, making it easy to transition between them. Download UNO! Mobile, Phase 10: World Tour, and Skip-Bo Mobile from the Google Play Store to experience Beyond Colors.
