Other games involved in the initiative include Dos, Phase 10, Skip-Bo and Ker Plunk.

Some of your favorite Mattel games are dependent on color: In Uno, one way to win is by discarding cards that match the color of the previous discard. In Blokus, players must build their colored pieces corner-by-corner until no one in the game can place another piece. In Ker Plunk, you have to remove the stick color the die indicates.

The company announced Tuesday that by the end of 2024, 80% of its global game portfolio will be colorblind accessible before hitting 90% in 2025. This includes Uno, Phase 10, Dos, Blokus, Tumblin' Monkeys, Skip-Bo and Ker Plunk as well as all mobile versions of Mattel's card games. "At Mattel, we are proud that our portfolio of games continues to bring people together – transcending languages and cultures – and this initiative to offer more colorblind accessible games is another proof point on our inclusivity journey," said Ray Adler, vice president and global head of games at Mattel.
