[Nfbf-l] accessable games?

[Kirk]

Jim & Bill, I am sure you could also google up "board games for the blind" 
and see what pops up, no? KH

Hi Bill,

As for board games I can think of Monopoly and Scrabble as well as Checkers,
Chinese Checkers and Chess.  I think you need to know Braille for the first
two.  BopIt is a fun single or multiple player handheld game device.  It is
fully accessible right out of the box.  I own a couple of them myself and
they can be gotten in pretty much any toy store.  If you read Braille Uno is
a fun multi player game done with a deck of special playing cards.

Thanks,
Jim

Hi all,
As some of you know I am very new to this list and the NFB as well.  I have
a question that I am sure some of you can help me with.  What is available
in multi person games, board type games or any other kind in some kind of
accessable form?   Before I totally lost my sight I used to enjoy playing
battle ship, manopoly etc.  It was something I enjoyed shairing with my wife
that I can no longer do. I also have two grand sons who are getting old
enough to do similar things with which I obviously would love to do.  Are
there audible games for game consoules like the We or play station? Is there
an audable basketball backboard/hoop and some kind of beeping basketball or
a ball with a bell in it like for Goal ball? Any suggestions would
wonderful.
Thanks in advance.
Bill
