The RNIB certainly used to sell a version.

Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] grandson's request for an idea
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.
