I love all types of Braille cards and my favorite board game is Blockus.
I love this video, especially the chess and checker games! BRAVO CARRIE!!!
Jenga is a really good game that you don’t have to adapt or buy in an adapted form
Even looking at videos for the game brings back memories
about 15 years ago, 2 dear friends of mine gave me a pair of braille dice for my birthday. I managed to get 3 more and love to play yachtzee with them. I have a blind friend who buys playing cards at the dollar store and brailles them for herself.
I have a large collection of LARGE PRINT word search books. Most of which I picked up at the dollar store and large font ones I picked up at a book store.
Great video!
Thank you for the tips!
Hi there! Thank you for your comment! Sorry for my late reply! Thank you so much! And that sounds like so much fun! Yes, I love the idea of just getting it cheaper and brailling t oneself. And I'm glad you were able to find those large print word searches! I am to impatient for them hahaa. And don't even get me started on crosswords. lol. Thanks again for your comment!! 😊
Hi Carrie Great video x I love to pkay dominoes and card games with my daughter. There are other games but I struggle lol😊
Usually when I play card games, I have an electronica magnifier, or card games are use my Iris Vision. My favorite card game is cards against humanity LOL, and my favorite board game would have to be sorry.
Those checkers sounds better even for sighted people too lol
Hi Carrie, what an awesome video. Very informative and many ideas for games. Thank you for involving me in this video. I hope you and your family have an awesome weekend.
Good video, really good info, I'm so uplifted by your enthusiasm!
I just discovered this channel and I am so happy for all the ideas! Awesome!!
Hi there! Thank you for your comment! Sorry for my late reply! Thank you so much for watching and I'm glad you found it helpful! 😊
Hi Karey, what a fun video! There are so many games out there that are adapted than ever before and it is exciting to learn about all of them. My favorite all-time board game is monopoly. When I played as a Child, I could see to move my race car around the board but my cousins would read the cards and sometimes help me retrieve flying dice. We would stay up all night over the summer months and play the game all the way through. I also love bop it and cards but I don’t play them anymore. I have a good friend in Canada who goes to play cards three nights a week and he is the only blind guy in the whole group. Oh, he also usually wins. LOL. This was just a really fun video. Thanks for all the info. Love Beverlyg
Regarding puzzles, Hanoi Tower is really fun !

Future aids the braille superstore is an incredible resource for Games as well as other things that blind and visually impaired people of all ages May enjoy
Hi Abby! Yes, it's a great store and they have some products that only they have which is pretty cool. 😊
Fantastic video!
Thank you very much! I'm glad you liked it. 😊
I remember the boppit. I used to have two of them. I had one called the boppit Junior, which is a smaller version of the original boppit and then I had the boppit extreme. I really enjoyed it but I lost them both a few years ago when I moved.
I have a collection of bopits. My favorite is a double sided record player. It'll say "Scratch it" or "reverse it" and of course "Bopit" and then eventually "Flip it" its a fun time! I watched a TH-cam video to figure out the gestures.
That's awesome! We only had the original bop it when we grew up. now I tried to look for it and it is so expensive! They only have the other one where you have to literally smash it for it to sense that you bought it lol! I spent an hour with that one when I stole it from one my niece. :-)
Great video! I also love bop it! Another tip that I would add is that for games that require you to draw a card and read it to yourself, I now use an AirPod and seeing AI to read these cards and it works like a charm.It Has opened up so many board game options for me
Thanks for making this video, it was really interesting to learn about how these great games are made. I have made lots of different computer games, the best ones were online versions of board games. One of the things I have learnt is that the most addictive games like those found in casinos and family games like monopoly can easily be turned to a text based game which is what I now prefer making, and these can quite easily be changed to an audio game, not that they need to be, so I'd say you can play every good game ever made
Hi there! Thank you for your comment! Sorry for my late reply! You are absolute right! With just a bit of modification and adaptation we can do anything. 😊
My jam is Monopoly (probably because you find out just what someone is made of when you play.) Before I went blind, I had a regular Monopoly game, but last year, I invested in a Braille Monopoly board. (Hell yeah! 😈)
My mom has the old school Bop It, and it still works! The last time I played it, I damn near lost my mind. 🤣🤣🤣
Jenga...yeah...that game.
Perfection nearly gives me a coronary. That timer ticking really keys me up.
Great video Carrie! 😉❤️
I used to have all of the bop it’s that existed but now I only have to. The bop it extreme and the original bop it. Oh and I forgot about the bop it maker. I have that one too
Yes! Bop it was SO much fun!!! I only played the extreme version once when my friend let me borrow it. I never heard of the bop it mkaer! What is that one? It sounds really interesting. Have you tried the newer ones that have the touch sensing? I prefer the original because my hand hurt hitting the bopit and it still didn't notice that I hit it. But that might just be the one I had. Anyway, thank you for your comment! 😊
Live Accessible
Yes. The newer ones have text sensitive. Especially the bop it maker. It is basically a Boppy but it is long. But it only has a few functionsBop it roll it and squeeze it and shake it. But it is called the buffet maker because you can create your own moves
Sorry dictation kept messing up but I think you get it
I forgot about dominos! I have some of those and really like them. It seems like the easiest thing to get other people to play who never usually played any type of game. I am remembering my favorite game ever that was the best gift! Mousetrap! The one where you build the Rube Goldberg contraption that triggers off each part of the trap! Hee! probably the first reason I always loved dominos too before even knowing how to play the game. Grins!
You know what's funny is my family and I go to Goodwill every other Sunday. I love looking for old video games and board games. not too long ago we found mouse trap the old school mouse trap that is. I love that board game and the fact that I get to share it with my kids makes it even better.
We also bought hungry hungry hippos as well. My daughter loves that game.
You know guys the way technology has gone nowadays with diesel but boardgames we will have to tell her kids water are about and they won't believe us
Oh my gosh, I absolutely enjoyed playing bop it! My husband and I went through a phase where we couldn’t put that thing down. LOL! Some of my favorite card games are Uno, regular playing cards, and cards against humanity. Though I have not been able to find a set of cards against humanity in braille. The ones I played with belonged to my friend and I believe she brailled them on her own. Another game that I still enjoy to this day is Jenga, and Mancala. I also enjoyed checkers but have not gotten the chance to purchase that one yet. It is definitely on my wish list along with scrabble and possibly monopoly. I am so beyond happy that they have all of these options in braille as that is my preferred method for reading playing cards, boardgames, etc. ☺️
Hi there! Thank you for your comment! Sorry for my late reply! Yes, it's great that we have all those option and I loved bop it too! And monopoly when I was younger... though I'm not sure we played it right. LOL! But also, what's interesting is now that my son is 3, we have been trying to find interesting games for him that are also accessible so that my husband who is totally blind can join in. HHi ho cherrio is great and also yetti in my spaghetti. I never was good at scrabble, but checkers and chess are also great! 😊
About 12 years ago I still had a little sight, and with a dealer telling me the flop cards numbers and suits, I was able to manage to play Texas Hold'em very well, and I love that game most of all. However, about 5 years ago I went truly totally blind and havn't been able to play anything since 12 years ago. I only feel comfortable using a Windows PC laptop with Jaws screen reader. Do you know off hand what would be the best audible only Texas Hold'em platform? Thanks for your video, I remember playing all those board games you mentioned with my siblings growing up! You have inspired me to attempt to learn at least basic braille to know at least letters and numbers and maybe symbols on playing cards.
Unfortunately, I haven't heard of that game. I'm so sorry, that it's taken me a long time to answer your comment. I'm sad to say that I can no longer continue making videos on this channel, but have started a new channel called Carrie on Accessibility if you want to check it out! All the best, Carrie. youtube.com/@carrieonaccessibility
@@LiveAccessible I will have a listen. I really only ever played Texas Hold'em poker as an adult, but it was nice to be reminded of some of my childhood fun! Great meeting you here.
I remember the game bop it it used to be a game that I played with my neighbor down the street when he used to live in my neighborhood
3:13 Ludo is well-known in the West, but if we need to explain it as similar to another game, I suggest pachisi, the old Indian game it was derived from.

When I was in high school I played dominoes and the dots on dominoes was color coded they was the white with color-coded dots they also was raised dots so you could feel them if you wanted too
Are used to play cat in the hat, Candyland, sorry, checkers.
That sounds like a lot of fun! 😊
Hi I love connect four and monopoly I hope I get the games since I’m visually impaired and I want to play go fish and now I hope I get uno and go fish also
I love board games to but using them gets harder and harder as I lose more sight. My most favorite card game is Canasta.
I'm sorry to hear that. Yes, it can be harder, but sometimes still fun trying and having fun with the family. We tend to play games that are more accessible and that makes it easier. I've never heard of Canasta. I'll have to look at that one! 😊
My favorite game is uno. I got the cards from my high school VI teacher. And the cards were already brailled 1:10
That's awesome! Sounds like a great VI teacher. Please note that this channel has been discontinued. If you'd like more and new accessibility and technology content, check out my new channel called Carrie on Accessibility! youtube.com/@carrieonaccessibility

Regarding Draughts (Checkers), a blind friend of mine prefers round and square pieces. Much quicker to identify, she says.

Perfect for this time of social distancing
Well, there are some really great games to do by yourself. I made this video quite a while back when there was no pandemic, And one of these days we will be able to be together with our friends again! 😊
I love bingo
Do they have bingo for the blind
They sure do!
Tactile boards are magnificent for blind people. The difficulty is to find opponents online.
With regard specifically to checkers, I don't even know about online platforms where I can play in an accessible way, using screen readers.
I know the Play Room platform. From a software, installed in Windows, I have access to several games.
Despite the various board games, chess, backgammon, reversi and go, unfortunately, there is still no possibility to play checkers.
Do you know any accessible means that would allow me to play checkers online, either with blind or sighted people?

I like to play Uno, but I am not good with braille. Is there a talking version of a note for the blind on Windows computers?

Hi. I just bought a couple games so I can play with my girlfriend. We are both blind. I don’t know Brea like that. Maybe you could help me with some games to be tactile‘s
Do they have Uno cards that you can feel the numbers raise up like a credit card you know how you can feel the numbers across? Something like that. Where you can feel a giant number raise up or maybe you can feel a line of a number in words? Second question do they have blind people battleship? Same thing. That you can feel the numbers and the letters raise up.
And the third one. Do they have blind people bingo? Again where you can feel the numbers raise up on each roles under the letters? And also the thing where you called out the numbers And letters?
And do they have blind people trouble? Or any talking games for two people?
Let me know where if you find anything. Remember I don’t know braille like that. I only know three letters but I don’t see why it would be hard to make those games like that. Where you can feel the numbers because some of the games that I mentioned there they only have it on large print or braille. I would like them to make it tactile I would love it if they make it where you can feel the actual number raise up. I also tried looking for monopoly same idea but they don’t have it. They only have it on braille. And one of my Favorite. The memory game. I don’t see why it would be hard to do it where you can feel each pieces with different shapes and stuff. So let me know if you know about any place that make this games the way I explain it to you. Thank you so much and I really appreciate it.
Hi there. Thanks for watching and unfortunately come out all these games are in braille. I don't believe there are any tactile aversions except for trouble. I think there is one on Maxiaids. Bill would be the standard, and it would probably be very difficult to manufacture something raised lined four numbers and letters. It'll also be very difficult for many blind users to handle something like that as opposed to braille. Maybe if you get these games and have some help to make them tactile it could help you out to play them. Maybe you can put different types of material on them like different size and different shaped bump dots or different textures. I hope that you are able to figure it out and I wish you all the best!
@@LiveAccessible OK so is that possible? Putting stuff so I can feel the lines? Do they sell anything like that? Or stickers or bumps or shapes? Let me know and send me a link also about the trouble game. Send me the link so I can buy that one.
This was a fantastic video. You did such a good job Carrie I'm not kissing your butt I am just flored with all the cool stuff you showed.
I want that chess set. I have never even thought of looking for something like that. I love chess.
My favorite board game however has to be heroes quest. I even made my own video based on that board game which I'm sure you remember.
there is a few regular board games that are really good for the vision impaired and blind and I will be making a video about those soon.
it when it comes to video games there is one video game that I'm keeping a secret and I will be making a video about that soon as well. but I can tell you this even if you have no light perception whatsoever this game is for you.
Thank you for giving me so many new options at my disposal.
I absolutely love the cards there were white on black and black on red etc. I want those badly.
Also, thought you'd like to know that Maxie ate actually has an Amazon store. So pretty much anything you can get on maxiaides website you can get also on Amazon through them.
Crosswords
Chess... ⁰😊
Hello if you don't mind I want to know something That you are Special or normal please Answer?
