Colorblind Games

About

Colorblind Games was created to address a specific and overlooked gap: colour blindness affects approximately 4–8% of people, yet up to 90% of tabletop game information is colour-dependent. The site distinguishes between the four major forms of colour vision deficiency rather than treating colourblindness as a single condition, because a player with deuteranomaly and one with deuteranopia may have entirely different experiences of the same game.

What It Does

Each review breaks down which game elements—cards, tokens, boards, pieces—are problematic for specific CVD types, and whether simple modifications such as painting components, applying stickers, or printing overlays can make the game fully playable. The site maintains a curated list of titles that are colourblind-friendly out of the box, and publishes an annual accessibility review round-up. The consulting service helps independent designers and major publishers build colourblind accessibility in from the prototype stage.

Who It Helps

Board game players with deuteranomaly, deuteranopia, protanopia, tritanopia, monochromacy, or any other form of colour vision deficiency; game designers and publishers who want expert guidance on colourblind-accessible component design from prototype to print.
