[blindkid] Accessible games

[Carlton Anne Cook Walker]

Ashley,

Robert is correct that the NFB Independence Market (
https://ecommerce.nfb.org/asp/default.asp) has several accessible card
sets:
* *UNO *(
https://ecommerce.nfb.org/asp/product.asp?product=246&cat=43&ph=&keywords=&recor=&SearchFor=&PT_ID=
)
* *Phase 10* (
https://ecommerce.nfb.org/asp/product.asp?product=1208&cat=43&ph=&keywords=&recor=&SearchFor=&PT_ID=
)
* *Skip-Bo* (
https://ecommerce.nfb.org/asp/product.asp?product=1178&cat=43&ph=&keywords=&recor=&SearchFor=&PT_ID=

)
* *Pinochle* (
https://ecommerce.nfb.org/asp/product.asp?product=241&cat=43&ph=&keywords=&recor=&SearchFor=&PT_ID=
)
* *Regular playing cards* (
https://ecommerce.nfb.org/asp/product.asp?product=243&cat=43&ph=&keywords=&recor=&SearchFor=&PT_ID=
)
* *Card holders* (which I love and are VERY reasonbly priced at 4 for $4) (
https://ecommerce.nfb.org/asp/product.asp?product=969&cat=43&ph=&keywords=&recor=&SearchFor=&PT_ID=
)

and games:
* *Megaword*, a game similar to *Scrabble* (
https://ecommerce.nfb.org/asp/product.asp?product=240&cat=42&ph=&keywords=&recor=&SearchFor=&PT_ID=
)
* *Shut the Box* (a favorite of mine which is great for children and
adults--a strategy game that even very young learners can enjoy) (
https://ecommerce.nfb.org/asp/product.asp?product=954&cat=42&ph=&keywords=&recor=&SearchFor=&PT_ID=
)
* *Sudoku* (magnetic) (
https://ecommerce.nfb.org/asp/product.asp?product=791&cat=42&ph=&keywords=&recor=&SearchFor=&PT_ID=
)
* *Tactile cube* (essentially, an accessible Rubik's Cube) (
https://ecommerce.nfb.org/asp/product.asp?product=1200&cat=42&ph=&keywords=&recor=&SearchFor=&PT_ID=
)
* *Tic Tac Toe* (
https://ecommerce.nfb.org/asp/product.asp?product=558&cat=42&ph=&keywords=&recor=&SearchFor=&PT_ID=
)
* *Backgammon (magnetic)* (
https://ecommerce.nfb.org/asp/product.asp?product=226&cat=42&ph=&keywords=&recor=&SearchFor=&PT_ID=
)
* *Bingo cards *(Braille or Large print) (
https://ecommerce.nfb.org/asp/product.asp?product=229&cat=42&ph=&keywords=&recor=&SearchFor=&PT_ID=
)
* *Checkers and Chess sets* (
https://ecommerce.nfb.org/asp/product.asp?product=232&cat=42&ph=&keywords=&recor=&SearchFor=&PT_ID=
)
* *Tactile Dice*, six-sided, for many games (
https://ecommerce.nfb.org/asp/product.asp?product=235&cat=42&ph=&keywords=&recor=&SearchFor=&PT_ID=
)
* *Dominoes *(magnetic) (
https://ecommerce.nfb.org/asp/product.asp?product=958&cat=42&ph=&keywords=&recor=&SearchFor=&PT_ID=
)
* *Dominoes*, non-magnetic (
https://ecommerce.nfb.org/asp/product.asp?product=961&cat=42&ph=&keywords=&recor=&SearchFor=&PT_ID=
)
* *Nine Men's Morris* (
https://ecommerce.nfb.org/asp/product.asp?product=962&cat=42&ph=&keywords=&recor=&SearchFor=&PT_ID=
)
* *Solitaire/Fox and Geese* (
https://ecommerce.nfb.org/asp/product.asp?product=953&cat=42&ph=&keywords=&recor=&SearchFor=&PT_ID=
)


Another great resource is 64 Oz.Games (http://www.64ouncegames.com/). 64
Oz. Games specializes in accessibility kits for mainstream games (such as
Apples to Apples - which requires purchase of the games itself and the
accessibility kit is added to the game to make it accessible), but they
have a few out-of-the-box accessible games also.

Also, from Independent Living Aids:
** Crazy Eights *Brailled cards (
http://www.independentliving.com/prodinfo.asp?number=127204)

I found more card games on Amazon.com--but I cannot attest to quality or
service:
* *Old Maid *Brailled cards (
http://www.amazon.com/MAGNIFYING-AIDS-Old-Maid-Brailled/dp/B001D8X8R0)
* *Go Fish *Brailled cards (
http://www.amazon.com/Go-Fish-Flash-Cards-Braille/dp/B004USI1RC/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1449321060&sr=8-2&keywords=braille+go+fish)--note
that the one star rating was a complaint that it had braille (as
advertised) and not raised letters (which were NOT advertised)


I have never seen an adapted game of Clue or Candy Land on the market> The
ones I've seen have been adated by parents/teachers for a specific child.
However, it's probably worth checking on eBay to see if one pops up
sometime.


Hope this information is of assistance.
