Hi Joshua,

What is this company that sells Braille Chess and Uno cards? 
Thanks!

"The real problem of blindness is not the loss of eyesight.  The 
real problem is the misunderstanding and lack of education that 
exists.  If a blind person has the proper training and 
opportunity, blindness can be reduced to a mere physical 
nuisance."

I had a Brailled Chess game, when I was in high school.
There's a company that sells this, along with Braille Uno cards.
I'd try the NFB's Endependence market, and see if they have 
accessible
board games.

Will you be at convention, next year?
Please E-mail me offlist.
Thanks, Joshua

 They also sell this wax sticks that my school would put on the 
lines
 so you could find the lines, or hot glew the lines.  Yes you 
could use
 a brailler or a slate and stylus to write on the cards.  I 
perfer a
 slate and stylus.  Then put braille lables on the board where 
its
 needed.  You could use stickers like stars or something to mark 
the
 squares too for an alternitive and cheeper method.

 My parents adapted it for me when I was a teenager.  The cards 
can be
 rolled
 into a Perkins Brailler and Brailled.  A dot of hot glue can be 
put on
 every
 square so you can move your person.  A Braille label can be put 
in every
 room
 in the mansion.  That is really all that is necessary.
