Mattel is making games like Uno more accessible for colorblind players
Even more players will be able to rage quit a game of UNO.
In an effort to make its games accessible to a wider audience and “create more inclusive play experiences,” Mattel has announced that 80 percent of its gaming portfolio — including iconic titles like UNO — will be made accessible for those with a color vision deficiency by the end of the year, with a push to 90 percent by the end of 2025. For UNO and its many variants, the four colors used in the game will be distinguished by simple symbols added to each card: a circle for red, a square for blue, a triangle for green, and a star for yellow. That partnership resulted in a version of UNO featuring the ColorADD code added to the cards, but Mattel’s latest efforts take a more streamlined approach that’s easier for players of all ages to quickly learn.
