About this resource

About

The Tabletop Accessibility Checklist, published by Explorers Design, is a freely available reference guide for making board and card games more inclusive for players with disabilities. It draws from WCAG 2.1 guidelines, ADA guidance, and disability-led design resources including the Visual Accessibility Skills Toolkit (VAST) and the A11Y Project.

What It Does

The checklist provides actionable guidance on colour contrast ratios, font sizing and typeface choice, tactile component differentiation, rulebook legibility, component handling for limited dexterity, and reducing cognitive load. It acknowledges that accessibility is an ongoing process and offers concrete, actionable steps for independent designers, publishers, and educators creating tabletop games.

Who It Helps

Tabletop game designers and publishers building more inclusive games, as well as disability advocates and disabled players who want to understand and champion accessible game design standards.

Who it helps

game designers
disability advocates
blind users
