46:29

Timestamps 00:00 - Intro 01:22 - Making Board Games Accessible 04:18 - Building Up a Teach & TCG Tangent 14:26 - Rubber Banding 18:51 - Randomness 26:01 - Financial Accessibility 29:48 - Canvas Mobility Spotlight 31:18 - Asmodee Access+ 35:23 - Game & Rule Adaptations 44:37 - Outro Quick Points 💜 No board game can be 100% accessible. Don’t let the fact you can’t make it accessible to everyone stop you from doing what you can to allow more people to play. 🚧 Games are made of intentional barriers, accessibility is about unintentional barriers that arise which cause a mismatch of experience for players with access needs. As you design, ask yourself where unintentional barriers are happening, this will help you to solve them by design as opposed to in retrospect. 🪜 Consider a staggered teach for your game, across one or multiple plays of the game, to help players get comfortable with rules before adding more. 📶 Games that start simple and build in complexity as play goes on can be a good way to holistically incorporate a teach into a game experience. 🐚 Include catch-up or rubber-banding mechanics in your game to help level the playing field for players who are behind, especially on games with a live score track. 🎲 Consider ways to mitigate randomness, not just in dice but in other places with randomness, like card draw. ♟️ Provide access to basic resources/cards as a backup to a random card/item, to give players more agency and a greater feeling of control over randomness. 🛍️ Give ways for players to reset shops / offerings to help give them more ways to search for the resources they need. 🎁 Try to do as much for accessibility as possible in standard versions of your game so players don’t need to invest in add-ons or alternative components. 📂 Provide free resources to allow players to adapt common barriers in your game to their needs, such as free print-at-home stickers. ♿ If possible you could create specialist versions of your game to accommodate accessibility barriers, but try to keep the cost comparable to the original version. 🃏 Create cut-outs in boards to help with picking up cards. 🔓 Allow and promote players bending rules to fit access needs. 🎛️ Provide variations of gameplay that address unintentional barriers in your rulebook, online or in FAQs.…

Abletop - Episode 5 - Communication Accessibility 57:32

57:32

Timestamps 00:00 - Intro 01:47 - Communication-Based Games 11:24 - Abstraction of Communication 18:09 - Visual Communication 26:58 - Improv Games 35:22 - Social Deduction & Hidden Roles 48:40 - Dyslexia & Literacy 54:05 - Alternative Communication 56:59 - Outro Quick Points 📝 Provide options to use different communication methods, like verbal or text-based. 😶 Consider supporting play without verbal communication, by default or as a variant. 📈 Give levels of difficulty in games where speech is not allowed, such as allowing some speech, one word, gestures. 📈 Give levels of difficulty in communication-abstraction games, such as giving more options to pick from or ways to focus the clue. 🎨 Avoid a reliance on colour for visual communication games. 🎤 Social pressure to roleplay, be funny or be quick-witted can be a huge barrier. Consider ways to support or reduce social pressures if possible. 💜 For improv games, consider providing more specific hint cards or fall-back options for players who struggle with improv. ❌ Provide a no-judgement ‘out’ to end a round early if things are getting too much. ☝️ Consider if your game could use interruption mechanics to give less confident players a mechanical way to take the wheel. 🕵️ If possible, make hidden roles optional to your game to make it approachable to more people. 🎭 Deception is difficult for some players, consider how the mechanics of your game can help support deception or provide a way for individuals to opt out of deceptive roles. 🛣️ If the game keeps going after roles have been revealed, set clear expectations in the rules that it is likely or inevitable. For longer games, ensure revealed players still feel like they have an impact at the table. 🎛️ Make rules variants, like having roles all revealed or no talking between players, to alleviate or omit some of the social pressures. 📱Provide ways or tools to help anonymity (companion app, one player presents all options, etc) where it is important for player-submitted parts. 🔤 Where spelling is important, allow spell-checking devices at the table. ⏳ Remove timed elements or provide extra time for players who struggle with writing and/or spelling. 🤟 Provide ASL / BSL guidance for communication in your game if possible. 💬 Overall, provide ways to reduce speech or support alternative communication methods.…

00:00 - Intro 01:28 - Transparency of Consequences 07:40 - Choice Overwhelm 13:13 - Game Complexity 20:05 - Game Length 33:30 - Memory 37:33 - Speed & Pacing 47:21 - Co-op & Asymmetry 52:40 - Content Warnings & Player Safety 58:25 - Outro Quick Points 🔍 Provide transparency for consequences, by default or optionally. In legacy games you could make a digital guide for how a big choice impacts on the game. 🗺️ Consider ways to reduce overall choices in the game, thus reducing overwhelm. For example, versions of play with limited or reduced actions. 🧠 Consult the Laws of UX for tips on best practices on usability and user experience. https://lawsofux.com/ 📑 Give players ways to prioritise actions by providing a suggested direction, such as through goal cards or a unique character action. ⚖️ Provide extra help where rules are not symmetrical and where misunderstanding may occur more frequently, such as a specialised reference card. 🫨 Consider ways to allow players to recover when plans are disrupted, and assist them in being able to pivot more easily or still reach that goal. 🎓 Include how long learning the game will take, not just an average playtime. 🕐 Consider pacing and average turn length, and if players need to be engaged at all times. How do these affect the cognitive load of your game and can you offer options? ⏯️ Help players return to play. Provide help on components or through mechanics for players to ground themselves after getting distracted or taking a break. ⭐ Help and support with ‘finding focus’ such as splitting up game management actions to help players engage, or accepting unrelated side-tasks like drawing. ⏸️ Providing ‘pause points’ and ways to help people ‘save’ the game, such as providing save sheets or extra bags for ‘saved’ collections of components. 📃 Provide ways to reduce memory reliance in games, even on a per player basis. Sometimes it’s as simple as allowing players to take notes. ⌛ Include ways to reduce or remove timed elements. 💢 Give suggested plays to help alleviate round pressure, when a player can feel the need to plan several turns ahead thus significantly increasing cognitive load. 📚 Have flexibility for when admin time happens to help players build the experience around their energy levels. ⏲️ Reduce set-up / tear-down time if you can, such as through components like player trays or through things like quick start guides. 💜 Provide safety mechanics or tools for games with sensitive topics. 📦 Put content information on your box to inform players ahead of purchase.…

00:00 - Intro 01:08 - Text Clarity 11:01 - Iconography 20:06 - Large Print & QR Codes 28:19 - Braille & Tactile Components 36:52 - Contrast 42:31 - Colourblindness & Dual Coding 48:48 - Visual Overwhelm 52:21 - Outro Quick Points 🔤 Use a clear sans serif font and avoid all caps, underlines and italics. 📝 Use good text formatting, like left-aligned paragraphs, good spacing, and line breaks. 🅰️ Highlight keywords using bold and/or a different high contrast colour. ⬆️ Indicate orientation for numbers and text, considering table layout and where people will be trying to read from. 🔍 Check symbols for readability and similarity at all angles, especially on dice. 🗑️ Favour skeuomorphic icons to boost comprehension and understanding. ⭐ Consider using iconography in place of text to reduce reading, make components more language-agnostic and reduce localisation. 🌍 Check regional meanings for your icons and colours to ensure they translate accurately across locations. ↕️ Print text and icons at the largest size possible, even consider using a bigger font for components with less text. 📕 Move flavour text to the rules or another booklet to save space on components. 🍎 Function over flavour always! If something helps someone to play the game more easily it should take priority over flavour text. 📱 Use QR codes on components to link to an app/webpage to work towards assisted tabletop gaming. 📄 Provide larger print versions of your game or components, for free or as upgrades / editions. ♟️Make components of different types, different shapes and sizes so they can be distinguished through touch. 🦯 Consider additional tactile elements like bumps, pips, embossing/debossing. 🔄️ Make good use of the reverse side of components where art would be duplicated or left blank. 👁️‍🗨️ If your game has an open state of play, consider how it could be played through just descriptions and how you can facilitate that. 🖨️ Make and provide 3D print files for tactile components. 🏁 Use a contract checker, but keep in mind digital versus printed contrast is different! Print is usually always darker. Use pantones and prototypes to check. 🧙‍♂️ Provide clear differentiation for miniatures, like coloured rings or 3D flat icons on the bases which can be easily painted for quick recognition. 🎨 Don’t use colour alone to differentiate pieces or information (use pattern, icon, text, numbers, clearly distinct art/borders) or make components colour-agnostic. 👁️ Make sure any dual-coding is large and clear. 🎲 Consider different transparencies or pip shapes for dice of different types…

Can you use the insert to help separate them. 📱 Create a companion app to either automate parts of the game, provide options to reduce components/table space, track character status, or roll dice. 🖐️ Provide low-mobility alternatives for components, such as Frosthaven's book of maps in place of the map pieces. 🗺️ Provide board references that can help players find locations on larger boards. 🔠 Check visibility of the labels on your board and how they are affected by 3D pieces during play. ⚓ Consider component anchoring - like recessed boards - for helping keep pieces in place. 🎛️ Check tension on moveable/assembled components like clips, dials. Is there a more static version you can provide to players as an option. 🃏 Provide ways to make tucking cards easier such as sleeves, raised areas or recesses. 🎲 Consider dice, how heavy and how many, and think about providing a tower to reduce physical energy cost and avoid dice disrupting the play space. ♟️ Provide card sleeves or thicker components for things that need to be handled often, or adapting the board to provide areas of purchase. ⚖️ Provide accommodations that can level the playing field for groups with a range of dexterity needs, such as different difficulties of components or asymmetric roles. 📂 Provide files that players can download and resize if they need to. ⌛ Provide ways to reduce or remove time pressures, potentially set per player. 🎯Consider the amount of component manipulation and accuracy in your games; lining things up, moving pieces, and what options you can provide to reduce those.…
