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. ^
