About
NNELS is Canada's national library service for people with print disabilities. Alongside its core accessible-format collections, NNELS maintains a publicly available guide to accessible board and card games that compiles options across physical products, digital platforms, and low-cost adaptation techniques—usable by anyone worldwide.
What It Does
The guide covers brailled and large-print adaptations of popular titles (including brailled Uno and tactile board game kits from specialist retailers), screen-reader-compatible online game platforms, and tips for adapting mainstream games using adhesive labels and tactile stickers. Links to vetted retailers and community platforms help users find options matched to specific access needs.
Who It Helps
Blind, low vision, and print-disabled players looking for a single reliable starting point to discover accessible game options. Librarians building inclusive leisure collections, educators and recreation therapists selecting games for inclusive programmes, and family members supporting a newly diagnosed person also find the guide practical and current.
