Braille Uno

From USA Today:
“Uno launched its first Braille deck. Here's where you can find it”


The popular card game Uno achieved another first: a version available in Braille. Mattel announced Tuesday that it is dealing out Uno Braille, the game's first official deck available in Braille. The deck was designed in partnership with the National Federation for the Blind. Each card has Braille on the corner identifying the card's color and the number or action available. The box features Braille on the front and back, directing players to a website where they can download instructions as Braille readable files. There are voice-enabled instructions available through Amazon's Alexa and Google Home. "We’re making a real impact on a community that has been underserved by providing a game that both blind and sighted people can play together,” Ray Adler, Mattel's global head of games, said in a statement. The game is available at Target in stores or online for $9.99. Two years ago, Uno launched a version of the game for players with color blindness, called Uno ColorAdd.

^ This is really cool. I used to play this all the time when I was younger and now the blind will be able to as well. ^
