Mattel163, the mobile game developer, has introduced a groundbreaking update across three of its popular card games: Phase 10: World Tour, UNO! Mobile, and Skip-Bo Mobile. The new "Beyond Colors" update is designed to make these games more inclusive by adding colorblind-friendly decks. These decks use basic shapes like squares, triangles, circles, and stars to represent traditional card colors, ensuring that players with color vision deficiency can easily identify and distinguish between cards.
To enable the Beyond Colors feature, players simply need to tap on their avatar within the game, navigate to account settings, and select the new card theme under the card theme options. This update not only enhances accessibility but also reflects Mattel163's commitment to making their games more inclusive to a broader audience.
According to the Cleveland Clinic, approximately 300 million people worldwide experience colorblindness. By introducing these new deck options, Mattel163 aims to break down barriers and make their games, including UNO! Mobile, accessible to everyone. The developer collaborated with gamers, including those who are colorblind, to ensure the symbols used in these decks are effective and consistent across all three games, making it easier for players to adapt and enjoy the games.
Mattel has set an ambitious goal to make 80% of its gaming portfolio colorblind accessible by 2025, marking a significant step towards inclusivity in the gaming industry.
UNO! Mobile offers the classic card game experience where players race to be the first to discard all their cards. Phase 10: World Tour challenges players to complete phases as quickly as possible, while Skip-Bo Mobile provides a unique twist on the traditional solitaire game.
All three games are available for download on the App Store and Google Play. For more information on Mattel163 and the Beyond Colors update, visit their official website or follow them on Facebook to stay updated with the latest news and developments.
