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

Mattel163 is taking a bold step towards inclusivity with an exciting update that enhances the accessibility of popular card games for everyone. They are introducing colourblind-friendly decks for UNO! Mobile, Phase 10: World Tour, and Skip-Bo Mobile, featuring a new feature called Beyond Colors.

What Is Beyond Colors?

This update is designed to support the approximately 300 million people worldwide who experience colour blindness. By replacing traditional card colours with unique shapes such as squares and triangles, Beyond Colors ensures that all players can easily differentiate between cards.

Activating the Beyond Colors feature in Phase 10: World Tour, Skip-Bo Mobile, and UNO! Mobile is simple. Just tap on your avatar in the game, head to your account settings, and turn on the Beyond Colors deck under the card theme options.

Mattel163 worked closely with gamers who have colour blindness to ensure the effectiveness and user-friendliness of these new symbols. This initiative aligns with Mattel's broader commitment to accessibility, aiming to make 80% of their games colourblind accessible by 2025.

In collaboration with experts in colour vision deficiency and the global gaming community, Mattel163 developed solutions such as patterns, tactile clues, and symbols. These efforts ensure that players can distinguish cards without relying solely on colour.

The shapes used in Beyond Colors are consistent across Phase 10: World Tour, Skip-Bo Mobile, and UNO! Mobile. Once you learn them in one game, you'll be able to use them seamlessly in the others. Check out these games on the Google Play Store: UNO! Mobile, Phase 10: World Tour, and Skip-Bo Mobile.
