Mattel163 enhances accessibility in three popular 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 solely on color, the new decks utilize simple shapes – squares, triangles, circles, and stars – to represent the traditional card colors. This innovative approach ensures colorblind players can easily distinguish between cards.
This inclusive update reflects Mattel163's commitment to broader accessibility. To activate the Beyond Colors decks, players can access their in-game account settings via their avatar and select the new theme under card options.
The Cleveland Clinic estimates that approximately 300 million people worldwide experience colorblindness. By implementing these shape-based decks, Mattel163 aims to significantly broaden the player base for these titles. The consistent symbols across all three games ensure a seamless and intuitive experience.
Mattel163 collaborated with colorblind gamers during the development of the Beyond Colors decks, ensuring usability and effectiveness. The company further pledges to make 80% of its game portfolio colorblind-accessible by 2025.
Uno! Mobile, Skip-Bo Mobile, and Phase 10: World Tour are available on the App Store and Google Play.

These classic card games – Uno!'s race to discard cards, Phase 10's phase-completion challenge, and Skip-Bo's unique solitaire twist – now offer a more inclusive gaming experience for all.
