Re: Accessible Board and Card Games!

Re: Accessible Board and Card Games! Hi Joseph. Last saturday, I  met my rp friends for a one day of 7th sea (I had great fun playing a dramatic castilian swordsman), and asked them about card games. The one they highly recommended was one I'd not heard of before called Centinal

Re: Accessible Board and Card Games! Theo - As soon as I have a chance to get with someone who plays Settlers and get a rough idea of if we could make it work, and if so, how labor-intensive it'd be, I'll get back to you with a rough quote. Should I just post it here, or would you like me

Re: Accessible Board and Card Games!

Re: Accessible Board and Card Games! Haha...we're not nearly that skilled. Velcro might be an option, but if I remember, the roads are so small that I don't know if you'd have enough surface area to get useable Velcro on. I just need to get my hands on a set, and sit down with someone who

Re: Accessible Board and Card Games!

Re: Accessible Board and Card Games! What's your craftsmenship like? Could you make special grooves in the tiles for the roads to sit in? Maybe velcro could work for that too? URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=232880#p232880

Re: Accessible Board and Card Games!

Re: Accessible Board and Card Games! I'd have to think long and hard about how to make Settlers work - as you said, the hard part would be getting pieces to stay in place so you can feel them. My sister and brother-in-law are big into Settlers, though, so I may talk with them and try

Re: Accessible Board and Card Games!

Re: Accessible Board and Card Games! You could attach velcro to the bottoms of each tile. Not the soft side of velcro, but the rough side. That way, you can include a board with cloth on top to stick them to, but if I lose or damage that, I could just rig up a new thing with a towel

Re: Accessible Board and Card Games!

Re: Accessible Board and Card Games! The tiles aren't the major issue - if I recall, Settlers involves little pieces that represent roads or somesuch, that are laid along the edges of the tiles? Figuring out how to keep *those* in place - that's the trick. URL: http://forum.audiogames.net

Re: Accessible Board and Card Games!

Re: Accessible Board and Card Games! Do you have settlers of Katan, or think you could do that?My friends play it all the time, but I've only played it twice, so I'm not too familiar with it. It would be nice for each tile to have a tactile symbol, and if there were something to hold them

Re: Accessible Board and Card Games!

Re: Accessible Board and Card Games! Dark - the idea of putting a number on each and then having a document with the text is definitely preferable to trying to braille all the contents - good idea. Itd still take a significant bit of time to type all of that text - youre talking dozens

Re: Accessible Board and Card Games!

Re: Accessible Board and Card Games! Hi Joseph. compatibility is a little like apples to apples, but more serious and more intended to actually see similarity of thought than have crazy fun with surreal humour, it can cause some rather entertaining arguements though . As to middle earth

Re: Accessible Board and Card Games!

Re: Accessible Board and Card Games! Ive heard of middle earth quest before I believe. A chap who lived opposite me in colidge said he once played a full lotr based game which could involve two players, one as the free peoples of middle earth, the other as Sauron, or have a third player

Re: Accessible Board and Card Games!

Re: Accessible Board and Card Games! Ha, Compatibility sounds fun - sort of in the Apples to Apples family of party games. There are a variety of games like that wed like toget and braille eventually, and in general theyre pretty easy to make accessible. So if you ever want to place

Re: Accessible Board and Card Games!

Re: Accessible Board and Card Games! Interesting, I just have a couple of questions. First, what sort of games do you have? Ive always fancied playing some of the casual fantasy board games like talisman or tokio battle, but obviously they arent accessible. The only board games Ive heard

Re: Accessible Board and Card Games!

Re: Accessible Board and Card Games! Dark,Good questions. Youre right, there arent many accessible board games - which is part of why were doing this. Whenever we get a game, we have to figure out how to make it accessible...so why not share that knowledge (and the labor of making

Re: Accessible Board and Card Games!

Re: Accessible Board and Card Games! Hi Joseph. This does sound like a familiar process my parents and I did it for years and brailled such games as compatibility, various custom card games, and even at least in part atmosphere, though that one would have required custom braille and print
