When board games think about inclusion
In the world of board games, innovation isn't limited to mechanics or design: it can also mean accessibility . It's with this in mind that the games Chaussette! and Koriké are now adapted for colorblind players .
Sock! : an observation game accessible to all
The principle of Sock! is simple yet challenging: turn over cards without making a pair. Memory, observation, and speed are all essential. With its colorful socks in various patterns , the game has so far relied heavily on shades of color.
The colorblind adaptation now allows all players — even those who struggle to distinguish certain colors — to fully enjoy the mechanics, thanks to distinctive visual cues .
Koriké: strategy and colorful fish… accessible to all
In Koriké, the goal is to create a grid of fish with the correct colors. With its 48 colored fish cards and special cards (grey fish, eggs, octopus…), the game offered an intense visual challenge.
Today, thanks to a graphic adaptation (number of stripes on each half-fish), colorblind players are no longer at a disadvantage . They can identify the cards as easily as others, and thus enjoy the game on equal footing.
A step forward for playful inclusion
Adapting these games for colorblind people means:
- to allow more people to play without frustration,
- to enhance the convivial atmosphere around the table,
- to send a strong signal in favor of inclusion in board games .
With these new versions, we show that accessibility can be simple, creative and beneficial to all.
