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

Mattel163 is enhancing its popular mobile card games to promote inclusivity with a groundbreaking update: Beyond Colors. This feature makes UNO! Mobile, Phase 10: World Tour, and Skip-Bo Mobile more accessible for the estimated 300 million individuals worldwide affected by color blindness.

Beyond Colors: A Clearer Game for All

Traditional card colors are replaced with easily distinguishable shapes—squares, triangles, and others—allowing all players to readily identify cards. This thoughtful design ensures a fair and enjoyable gaming experience for everyone.

Enabling Beyond Colors

Activating Beyond Colors is simple: access your in-game avatar, go to account settings, and select the Beyond Colors deck under card theme options. This applies to all three games mentioned.

Collaboration for Inclusivity

Mattel163 collaborated with colorblind gamers throughout the development process, guaranteeing the new symbols are both effective and user-friendly. This initiative underscores Mattel's broader commitment to accessibility, with a goal of making 80% of its games colorblind-accessible by 2025. The company worked with color vision deficiency experts and the gaming community to develop solutions utilizing patterns, tactile cues, and symbols, ensuring color is not the sole differentiator between cards.

Consistent Across Games

The shapes used in Beyond Colors are consistent across UNO! Mobile, Phase 10: World Tour, and Skip-Bo Mobile, providing a seamless experience between games.

Download and play these accessible card games today on the Google Play Store: UNO! Mobile, Phase 10: World Tour, and Skip-Bo Mobile.
