About
64 Oz Games was founded by Richard and Emily Gibbs following a successful Kickstarter campaign in 2015. The company uses a braille embosser to create accessibility kits that adapt mainstream retail board games for blind and low-vision players, so they can play alongside sighted family and friends using a single copy of the game.
What It Does
Each kit includes braille-embossed sticky labels, card sleeves, and printed text references for a specific game's cards and components. Some kits use QR codes to handle games with extensive card text. Kits are designed to be assembled together by a blind and sighted player, with assembly typically taking 30–60 minutes. The store now carries over 100 kits covering games such as Pandemic, Ticket to Ride, Sushi Go, Resistance, and Apples to Apples.
Who It Helps
Blind and low-vision board game enthusiasts who want to play mainstream games with sighted family and friends, as well as libraries, schools for the blind, and recreation therapists running group game sessions.
