Re: [Audyssey] board games for the blind - Re: Accessible Checkers
A family friend of who is fluen in braille, brailed some of the less popular games such as Wise and Otherwise, Origin of Expressions, and Bonkers. I don't know of any places to get the more unconventional games, but as others have said, you could braille up the cards, or if the braille doesn't fit, you could braille sheets with questions and answers that corresponde to the cards in print, like I did in Wit's End. I don't get to play them much with school and all, but it would be nice to take a day and play through all the game i have, just wishful thinking though.

I must have been about 3 or 4 at the time, and played the game with my mum and sometimes friends until it fell to bits :D. Not that there shold! have been an accessible version, much as I had a bit of a craze on Thomas and trains when I was little (I own the hole set of original, metal 1980's trains, which are probably now worth quite a lot of money), though perhaps a service helping parents braille those sorts of games for blind children would be a good thing. luckily my mum could do it herself, but obviously not everyone has a mother who also reads braille (Indeed my mum pretty much taught me braille for the first year of school because the councel couldn't find a teacher).

Perhaps contacting someone like the Cleveland Sight Center since they have a lot of those games in their Ideas Shop. I never really thought about that question much until this subject came up, and now I'd really like to know if it is the manufacturer or the rehab centers themselves that decides which games are to be made accessible. Certainly some games like Monopoly are a given. It seems to be a game that everyone plays, just about every family owns, and is very popular. Something like the Thomas and Friends board game is designed for small kids, and wouldn't be too popular with adults.Therefore it might make sense why that game wouldn't be made accessible because the majority of people with vision related issues are over 60 where Thomas and Friends is for kids ages 3 to 6.

I mean is it the original manufactures of the games, or do some of the blind organizations get together and commission for the games to be made accessible or what?

Re: [Audyssey] Congratulations! you have won a free game
For April fools, my friend told me that he had broken my extremely pricy keyboard. I was about to have a fit when he told me he was just kidding. I can't beleive I fell for it.

Sometimes, it's little things like Jim's joke. Sometimes, a person will switch the sugar with the salt so that the other family members end up eating very salty cereal or sweetened fish, or they might put hot sauce in one's drink. Last night I about broke my son's heart when I told him we had cancelled our TV service. My daughter, who's eleven, did not fall for it--but my five-year-old did. Then, to trick both of them, I told Aria my daughter, Tomorrow, we're gonna get some sun. It's gonna be seventy--almost hot enough to play in the hose. Then they both got very excited, as we're all tired of the cold. They even started planning to set up the swimming pool. I couldn't believe how hard Aria, who should have suspected, fell for that one.
