Re: [Audyssey] Monopoly-type games - Re: Some practical questions reguarding the Monopoly game
Hi Charles: I had a similar experience growing up. For many years my mom, some family friends, and I would have game nights every Friday or Saturday night where we would play one card or board game well into the night. Especially during the winter when it was too cold to do anything outside. We played Monopoly, Yahtzee, Poker, Uno, and so on. The thing I remember most is the interaction between everyone. We sat around drinking cups of coffee or hot chocolate, munched on chips, and talked. We told stories, exchanged jokes, and added the occasional tease when someone screwed up or won big. The thing is playing computer games just does not have the community interaction or same fun as playing against human opponents. Cheers!

Tom: You are absolutely right about the importance of board games when it comes to human interaction. We used to do a lot of summer vacationing on the Colorado river. Pinochle cards, a tactual version of Monopoly, and a copy of Yahtzee were always taken. I kept my score using a slate and stylus and blank braille paper, the cards were brailled, and we had fun during the evenings if the weather was bad. This was before I found computers or games played on them. Later on, a chess set was added. --- Shepherds are the best beasts, but Labs are a close second. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] Monopoly-type games - Re: Some practical questions reguarding the Monopoly game
Hi tom. while I agree that card and board games do have value as games to play with others, at the same time computer games can have a similar feeling provided you have a group of like minded individuals together and provided the game is one that several people can have fun with rather than say a flight sim or complex stratogy game that requires massive attention. I remember the occasion when i still lived in colidge where a couple of friends of mine visited me, but managed to turn up an hour early so I was in the shower. In defference of what to do, I literally yelled instructions through the bathroom door (I was living in one room in colidge with a single attached bathroom), for them to start up Jim Kitchin's game of life, and we played that while I finished my shower. that was hilarious and good fun as well. As well as playing Talisman and King of Tokio, my brother also regularly plays the marrio party games with his friends as well, which are intended as exactly what they say, ie party games, like computerised board games on the Wii. He also has recently bought the new Pokemon game and a 3ds, and when not playing a ccg with his friends they also challenge each other to Pokemon battles. Of course, since my brother is a major CCG player, he knows plenty of people who do that sort of thing, and indeed if the games (of either computerised or not), were accessible odds are I'd do the same more often with my rp friends. It all seems to depend upon the games involved and the group of people and what they choose to do, though I will say where as computer games, even casual ones like marrio party or Jim Kitchin's are something of their own interest, anyone can pick up a good amount of board games and play them out of the box, making them a far more universal thing. That is another reason I'd love to see more accessible interesting games. Beware the Grue!

Re: [Audyssey] Some practical questions reguarding the Monopoly game
You can buy a standard deck of cards and braille them yourself if you have someone who will sort them in order for you, and it only takes a minute for them to do it. I used to do it all the time. The heck with those $20 decks! --- Shepherds are the best beasts, but Labs are a close second. - Original Message - From: Thomas Ward thomasward1...@gmail.com To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Thursday, December 05, 2013 1:39 AM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Some practical questions reguarding the Monopoly game Hi Dark: Oh, yes. Any time something is developed for the blind, is marketed as an access product, the cost is insane. Not because it costs that much to actually make it, but because we are a captive minority market. As you mentioned the novelty key ring finders only cost perhaps $5 USD if that. In fact I use to have one where I could whistle and it would start beeping to help me locate my keys. Since it was marketed as a novelty item it was real cheap. I am sure if it was made for the blind, marketed as a specialty item, I'd be looking at a key ring that costs at least $50instead of $5 just because you can multiply the cost by a factor of 10 being a specialty item. I know when it comes to card and board games they definitely cost a lot more than their mainstream counterparts. I think a deck of braille playing cards is like $19 when a sighted person can go to Dollar General or Family Dollar and get a standard deck for a dollar. Something like Monopoly is about $50 for a braille set when a standard Monopoly game is between $19 and $29 depending on if it is standard Monopoly or a collectors edition. However, I agree that even excluding material costs I don't think it actually costs that much to produce accessible products. At least not the cost we have to pay to get them from In dependant Living Aids, RNIB, whatever. I know for a fact that the actual cost of making some of those products is a fraction of what they actually charge for it. Cheers! On 12/4/13, dark d...@xgam.org wrote: Hi tom. Well while I agree on material costs, at the same time as you said yourself the markup is frankly insane on access products, because it's a captive and small markit manufacturers of accessible goods and providers of accessible services basically charge through the roof. I think the worst I ever saw was a device composed of an infra red sensor and buzzer. The idea was you could put the sensor on an object or your seet etc, and press the buzzer to have it bleep so you could locate it at a distance by hearing. yes, a very handy device, but not at £350, that is around 600 usd! Heck, I know very little about electronics but even I! could make a guess about how the circuites in those worked, and don't they sell novelty key ring finders that do the same thing for about 1£10? In fairness this isn't just with blindness, wheel chairs, hoists and other equipment for physically disabled people is just as ridiculous, also there are some accessible devices which aren't gougingly priced. I was quite impressed for example to find that the pen friend labelling system I use cost exactly £50 for the initial unit, and packs of 500 labels would cost another £7. Of course annoyingly the rnib won't actually let you buy packs of just the size you want and only sells two basic selections, but there you go. Still this shows not everything accessible has to be insanely expensive, even if the raw materials will put the price up somewhat. Beware the grue!

[Audyssey] Help with Stem Stumper.
Hello. I just downloaded Stem Stumper to the iPad. I went to settings and I saw two things that I have not seen there before when I had the game on my iPhone. The first one was pay to remove ads and redeem past purchases. The other thing is the lite version is no longer on the app store. But no matter I had paid for the game in the past. So my help that I needed is to know what is the two items that are now in the settings. Pay to remove ads and redeem past purchases?

Re: [Audyssey] Some practical questions reguarding the Monopoly game
HI Charles, sure is! :) I'm not sure which one I downloaded (there are a bazillion of them) but I just grabbed one right at the time we wanted to play. I think there were a bunch of free ones and I got one of those. I'll check and let the list know which one it is, when I find it. K? For future reference, I'll pretty much always mention accessible apps otherwise I'll be very clear if they take work to use.

Re: [Audyssey] Some practical questions reguarding the Monopoly game
Hi Charles: That is true. Although, there are a couple of good reasons to buy the accessible decks from Independent Living Aids etc. One is that the cards are bigger and have large print on them so they are easier to read if playing with a low vision player. The other is they make the cards out of a more durable material so the braille tends to stand out and last longer than on a standard deck. I agree neither is really a good reason to pay the higher cost for the cards, but there are some advantages in doing so which I thought I would point out. Cheers!

Re: [Audyssey] Some practical questions reguarding the Monopoly game
They do last longer, but I found the high cost, well, too high. I bought some pinochle cards, and had to buy two decks if we were going to play double deck. $40 for pinochle cards was too much when comparing it to $4. --- Be positive!
