After 46 years of being a notoriously hard game for those who are colorblind, Mattel is launching a new Uno deck designed to be more inclusive. The new Uno ColorADD deck costs $5.99 and contains extra graphic symbols that represent the primary colors, so that it’s easier to tell between red, yellow, green, and blue cards. The deck is named after ColorADD, a global organization founded in Portugal to aid those who are colorblind, and the symbols are part of a code ColorADD created to help identify colors.
To have a classic and well-known card game like Uno finally acknowledge colorblind people is a significant move. It’s also an idea that has occurred to some before, but has somehow taken decades to execute.
