Re: [Audyssey] Blind Playing Sighted games?
I'm way behind on Email because of PC problems, but, as a matter of fact, you did state that you aren't a good braille reader. These people just aren't paying attention or aren't thinking, not sure which. As for brailling cards, it is better to braille the upper left corner of each card, then turn the card 180 degrees and brailling what is now the top left corner. This will prevent having to have the card facing a certain way when reading. The braille is put on the side that has the numbers on it so that face up to you is aqlso face up to sighted players. And there is no need to use dymo tape if you have a slate and stylus or a brailler. Just emboss the braille right onto the card. As for other games, chess sets that are adapted for use by blind players are available, as are tactile versions of other popular games. Most are for braille readers, although some are not.

Re: [Audyssey] Blind Playing Sighted games?
Hello there, Um, I am not quite sure what you are talking about when you say backgammon and cover the holes with paper? but i already have figured out how to use the backgammon set I already have. Normally a set comes with tiles that are round and sort of flat. Kindof like thick plastic nickels. one set is brown/black and the other is white. I can replace one set with actual coins..either pennies or nickels. and by touch..very, very careful touch..I can read the board. and know my tiles from hers. Man it is going to feel great to beat someone at a game other than a computer game...grin. Now I have to practice my dice rolling.. double 6's..o yes.. grin Robert --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] You can make changes or update your subscription via the web, at http://audyssey.org/mailman/listinfo/gamers_audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] Blind Playing Sighted games?
Shawn, Right now I think we are going to take the backgammon board on the road with us. It is a game I loved playing years back when I still had sight. Risk was another game I loved to play with 3 other buddies years back. that would be an awesome game to play online against other blind players if anyone ever has tht time to program that puppy. Never thought of connect 4...will have to buy one and see how I can mark my pieces with puff paint or something like that. Bought a friend's grand daughter a game called toss across. loved playing that one..it is like tic-tac-toe but you throw bena bags at it to flip the tiles to either blank or x or O's. The girl beat me more than I won..but it was till pretty fun. I have an idea for a game..even bought another board game to modify it to use for my idea. My lady is going to help me put it all together and then I'll see if I can whoop her butt playing it. I just wish I knew how to approach Hasbro with this game as I think it would work well for sighted and blind folks but I need to make the prototype first to prove it is a good game but I do thank you for all your suggestions.

Re: [Audyssey] Blind Playing Sighted games?
yep. i bought that, too, and play all the time with my brothers and stuff. its fun. one set of coins does have holes, the other set is just a closed, round coin. and there are little slots on the top of the board, and there are holes... its hard to explain, easier when u have a board in front of ya to inspect and touch and figure out and such.

Re: [Audyssey] Blind Playing Sighted games?
Hi robert. Well there are a few things. 1. scrabble, you can buy this. loodo, snakes and ladders. peg chess of which I have a set. Probably monopoly except I have not got it. Thee are a load of board games you can buy check your local blind foundation for all that stuff. Beetle. this is a wood game where you try to put the beetle together. happy families. there are braille playing cards, plastic is more durable. ulsas. Ok I had to get mum to make the board, but it was made with cardboard and foil. connect4. norts and crosses. domonoes. The disadvantage being though that these games are big, like huge, they all come in rather big cases,etc. Do you have a laptop? you probably can play the kitchensinc games on a bord at the same time. There is also the popomatic games, you need someone to tell you whats actually going on but its a semi half way accessible game to play. Scatogries is also good, granted, its a children's game but its got timers and such and makes noise. There is the 20 questions game you can get on the system, and also the board. there is the trivia game by jim kitchen, but I suppose you could play a game like that on the board. You probably could play risk to, as although you need to role dice and move counters you have to do strategy and it can be quite good, never tried it though. Then there is drafts, never tried that or batgammon even though I have sets of each.
