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.

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.
