Oh, I agree that Risk is very accessible. I've been playing it and many
other board games for over 30 years now. I Brailled the Risk cards, and I
created a map that listed each space on the board and everything it
connected to. When playing, I keep track of how many units are on each
space. I enjoy Risk quite a bit.

Subject: [Audyssey] brief description of risk

Milos,

Risk is actually adaptable to play by someone with a visual
impairment.  Your sighted friends have to be willing to help you with
moves and the like, but once you understand how the countries hook
together, you don't need sight to play it.  I began playing Risk when
I was all but totally blind, and I have continued enjoying it for the
last 30 odd years since.  The cards can be brailled with an
abbreviated country name and a letter code to denote what is on them.
One friend of mine even used my brailled cards and puff paints to
create a tactile board.

Take care,

Jeremy
