Board Games

Believe it or not, there are several board games out there that can be used by blind persons.  Monopoly, Scrabble, cribbage, just to name a few.  I myself am not a board game lover but for the little that I have played, they have been enjoyable.

 

Many years ago I invented a board game that was based on the economy; all about various countries using their resources and money to become the richest.  I have several friends who enjoy board games; and sighted persons can play along as well.  I hope that companies continue to make board games accessible to blind persons.  I have played Othello, and now I am a passionate play of Chess.  I have also played some checkers as well.

 

Board games are enjoyable to anyone at the best of times and it's a really nice ay for friends to come together.  I sure hope that some day they will be able to adapt Trivia Pursuit for blind persons; that is if they have not already done it.  If you are seeking to buy a board game for a blind friend or family member than you can visit www.maxiaids.com. 

 

I'm Donna J. Jodhan your friendly accessibility advocate wishing you a terrific day and encouraging you to go out there and tell the world about how blind persons can play board games.
