Hello all!

I am looking for games to play with my family and a teen I mentor.   I am specifically wanting something that can be played in 30 to 60 minutes, is easy to learn, is appropriate for people age 12 and over, costs less than $30 and is self contained...meaning a board or card game.  

If it's already playable by blind people out of the box that would be most excellent!  If not I can Braille or label as necessary within reasonable limits.  For example I would have no problem Brailing a deck of cards, but Brailing an entire set of Trivial Pursuit cards is out.  I just do not have that sort of time.  

I have looked at some of the more common blindness product web sites.  I have found all sorts of cards, checkers, chess, Bingo, dominoes and tic tac toe , as well as some classics like Monopoly and Scrabble.   I am really interested in newer games or more uncommon games.   

All ideas and suggestions are most welcome!
TIA
Julie
