Uno! Mobile, Other Apps Get 'Beyond Color' Update

Mattel163 enhances accessibility in its mobile card games with the Beyond Colors update. This update introduces colorblind-friendly decks to Phase 10: World Tour, Uno! Mobile, and Skip-Bo Mobile.

Instead of relying on traditional color cues, the new decks utilize distinct shapes – squares, triangles, circles, and stars – to represent the colors red, blue, green, and yellow, respectively. This ensures players with color blindness can easily differentiate cards.

The update, developed in collaboration with colorblind gamers, employs consistent symbols across all three games for ease of use. Players can activate the Beyond Colors decks through their in-game avatar settings, under card theme options.

This initiative reflects Mattel163's commitment to inclusivity. With approximately 300 million people worldwide affected by color blindness (according to the Cleveland Clinic), this update significantly broadens accessibility. Mattel aims to achieve colorblind accessibility for 80% of its game portfolio by 2025.

Uno! Mobile, a mobile adaptation of the classic card game, challenges players to deplete their cards first. Phase 10: World Tour focuses on rapid phase completion, while Skip-Bo Mobile offers a unique solitaire experience.

All three games are available 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.
