Debbie,

Where can I buy Connect 4?
As for jinga, the one with colors I'm not sure how to adapt because even if 
you put braille on the blocks, they are stacked so you cannot read the 
braille. The jinga game I refer to has a dice with four colors. You roll it 
and it lands on a color. Then you pick that color block from the tower. The 
colors are red, blue, green, and I think yellow.
I have residual vision, but am having trouble distinguishing blue and green; 
not enough contrast. So, someone has to help me identify the blue from green 
if that is the colors I land on. As I said, regular jinga contains all the 
same blocks and poses no problem. If I were totally blind, it might be hard 
to find the top of the tower though.
Jinga is really fun, especially to see the tower grow and later on in the 
game, you have to strategize where to pick your blocks to avoid knocking 
over the tower!

Other games I like are  Bingo, scrabble, and trivia. My favorite game is 
Uno.
Its been a while since I played checkers.
A good game that is. It gives you a chance to practice  thinking and 
strategy since you really have to think of a good move to block your player.

I forget how to play snakes and ladders. If you don't mind, please tell me 
about it and basics of playing it off list.

While not a board game, I also like twister.

Thanks,
Ashley
