Hi Lenny, Not sure if this is beyond your scope or not, but while talking to a friend of mine, who's been blind a lot longer than I have been, she mentioned that there used to be a blind tactile version of the game, Connect Four, where there were rods, instead of the traditional slots, and the checker pieces had various designs to distinguish them between each other, so you could tell the reds from the blacks, and there were holes drilled out of the center of the checker pieces, to facilitate them sliding onto the rods.
I thought it was neat when I heard of it, because my 6 year-old daughter is always asking me to play connect Four with her, and I'm constantly telling her that daddy can't because he can't see, and the pieces look too much like each other. Sure, I could probably make them accessible in some way, just haven't gotten around to it, but like I said, that accessible version looks really neat, and if I had the wherewithal, I would take it on myself, but alas, lack of money, and the proper woodworking tools just don't allow for it.
