>64oz Games has revolutionized board games for 
>blind people with their braille accessibility 
>kits. With these kits, blind players can play 
>the same games along with their sighted friends. 
>If you are a fan of Apples to Apples and other 
>games, kits are now available. You can go to 
><http://www.store.64ouncegames.com/>store.64ouncegames.com 
>to see their whole collection.

>Right now they are running a Kickstarter to 
>increase their ability to make kits. They are 
>offering braille dice as well as braille 
>teaching materials as rewards. With successful 
>completion of this kickstarter, they will obtain 
>a new 3d printer to make higher quality 
>materials. They will also be able to make game 
>boards for the first time by purchasing a CNC 
>router and a thermoform machine. With your help, 
>they can make more and more high quality braille 
>accessibility kits for board games.
