UNO® is one of those classic games. It’s a card game that is fun and easy to play no matter your age, and its look is simply iconic with a large simple font and bold colors. But therein lies the problem—for the millions of people worldwide who are colorblind, it’s a challenge to enjoy the game. So on International Colorblind Awareness Day, September 6th, 2017, UNO announced the launch of its newest deck, UNO® ColorADD, the world’s first card game for the colorblind.
UNO® consists of four colors, two of which—red and green—are the two most commonly confused colors amongst those who have colorblindness. As an immensely popular card game, the creation of UNO® ColorADD is a serious step towards inclusivity, making it even more universally loved and playable.
“Designed in partnership with ColorADD, the global organization for colorblind accessibility and education, the deck features its proprietary code, an inclusive and non-discriminative language that enables people with any type of color blindness to identify color. The code is based on three graphic symbols representing three primary colors. These symbols can be found on the top-left and bottom-right corners of each card to define UNO’s iconic red, yellow, green and blue suits.”
