[Blindtlk] games

[Cari Kness]

Hi Julie,
I just thought of one more really easy and fun game. Yahtzee. The 
Yahtzee dice have holes in them so anyone can feel or see them. The 
score sheets are all the same and players can keep their own score 
using what ever method works. I use my braille note but in the past 
I've used a slate and stylus. I have the scoring memorized so I don't 
even bother with the shaker cup or the print stuff. I lost my 
original dice so I just  picked up 5 more over Christmas.  Word 
Yahtzzee is fun too but the letters and numbers are not raised and 
would be hard to label on the dice. Bummer!
Peace,
Cari
