The following google play store search lists 3 blind-friendly games for android 
handsets/units, created by a group of guys calling themselves something like 
Blind Faith Games research project, which aims to develop mobile games that can 
be enjoyed regardless of your sight level:
https://play.google.com/store/search?q=BFG+eyes-free&c=apps

While they install on my current handset, haven't really done much with them, 
since it's a slightly older unit, running gingerbread version of android 
operating system, but anyway...if you have an android unit, running it using 
talkback, etc., check them out - they're free.

And, the 3 games are the following - copied this off the app specific pages:

1. Zarodnik BFG (eyes-free game) - "Become the most dreadful predator in the 
ocean with this original game! And enjoy its 3D audio system, which helps blind 
users to play and provides a unique gaming experience.
The story
Once upon a time, there was a little monster from an unknown place. It used to 
be called Zarodnik and it was involved in a trip under the depths of the ocean. 
While it was travelling it found a lot of varieties of creatures and learnt 
many survival aspects. One day, our hero reach one of the biggest ocean of the 
world, Izlude. Izlude was the best ocean that a marine creature can imagine 
with enough food to live forever, but when Zarodnik arrived, Izlude was been 
slaughtered by a new race of monsters: the Strouf. The Obeaune which were the 
race that used to live in Izlude during the last centuries became slaves of the 
Strouf or been killed. Now, the Strouf have taken the control of Izlude, the 
place where our hero has just arrived. Zarodnik is now involved in this 
adventure where it will try to save as many Obeaunes as it can by saving it in 
its belly... But our main character has a limited stomach. What will you do to 
help it?
The game objetive is to save as many preys as you can, avoiding the predators 
that you could listen near you. The more preys save, the better score you get. 
If you save a prey, you have to go to one of the edges of the screen to move to 
the next level and continue the game."

2. Eyes-free Minesweeper (BFG) - "This application will entice any fan of this 
classic strategy game, where you have to find and flag all the bombs hidden on 
the board. The novelty in this case is that the game can be played also by 
blind users, as it has been set up with different accessibility features."

3. Eyes-free Golf (BFG) - "This simple golf-like game is about getting the ball 
in the hole. As simple as that. Try its different game modes and screens, you 
won't be disappointed!
The novelty in this case is that the game is eyes-free, meaning that also 
people with a visual disability can play as well."
