Mattel Debuts "Beyond Colors" for Colorblind Gamers

Author : Eleanor Feb 11,2025

Mattel163 is enhancing inclusivity in its popular mobile card games with a groundbreaking update: Beyond Colors. This feature makes UNO! Mobile, Phase 10: World Tour, and Skip-Bo Mobile more accessible to the estimated 300 million individuals worldwide affected by color blindness.

What is Beyond Colors?

Beyond Colors replaces traditional color-coded cards with distinct shapes—squares, triangles, and others—allowing all players to easily differentiate cards. This thoughtful design ensures fair and enjoyable gameplay for everyone.

Activating Beyond Colors:

Enabling Beyond Colors is simple. In each game (UNO! Mobile, Phase 10: World Tour, and Skip-Bo Mobile), tap your avatar, go to account settings, and select the Beyond Colors deck under card theme options.

Collaboration and Accessibility:

Mattel163 collaborated with colorblind gamers to ensure the new symbols are intuitive and effective. This initiative reflects Mattel's broader commitment to accessibility, with a goal of making 80% of its games colorblind-accessible by 2025. The development involved experts in color vision deficiency and the global gaming community, exploring solutions beyond color to distinguish cards, including patterns and symbols.

Consistent Design:

The shapes used in Beyond Colors are consistent across all three games, meaning mastering the system in one game translates seamlessly to the others.

Download and experience these enhanced games today on the Google Play Store: UNO! Mobile, Phase 10: World Tour, and Skip-Bo Mobile.
