Mattel163, the mobile game developer behind popular titles like Phase 10: World Tour, UNO! Mobile, and Skip-Bo Mobile, has rolled out an exciting new update called Beyond Colors. This update introduces colorblind-friendly decks, designed to enhance the gaming experience for players with color vision deficiencies. The innovative decks use basic shapes such as squares, triangles, circles, and stars to represent traditional card colors, making it easier for colorblind individuals to distinguish between them.
The Beyond Colors update is now available across all three games, marking a significant step towards inclusivity and accessibility in mobile gaming. To activate this feature, players can simply tap their avatar in-game to access account settings and enable the Beyond Color deck under the card theme options.
According to the Cleveland Clinic, approximately 300 million people worldwide are affected by colorblindness. By introducing these new deck options, Mattel163 aims to break down barriers and make their games, including UNO! Mobile, accessible to a broader audience. The development of the Beyond Color decks involved collaboration with gamers, including those with color blindness, ensuring the symbols are consistent and user-friendly across all three titles.
Mattel has set an ambitious goal to make 80% of its games portfolio colorblind accessible by 2025, showcasing their commitment to inclusivity. UNO! Mobile offers the classic card game experience where players race to discard all their cards, while Phase 10: World Tour challenges players to complete phases as quickly as possible. Skip-Bo Mobile provides a unique twist on the traditional solitaire game.
All three games—UNO! Mobile, Skip-Bo Mobile, and Phase 10: World Tour—are available for download on the App Store and Google Play.
