Needs Color Blind Option

Post by FSKFSK »

The game is unplayable for me. It needs a red/green/brown/grey with better icons for color blind. I'm red/green color blind.

I am moderately colorblind too. I was able to play this successfully by using the hovertext a lot.

I think the texture of the frames and goals is supposed to match to the colors, but I was having a hard time that way as well. Just reading the color names worked for me though.

"Hover over every card" really isn't a viable option after the first few turns, especially if you're looking at your opponent's board. It's frustrating because some simple icon enhancements would make it color blind friendly.

Ticket to Ride is a good example of colors done well. There's also an icon on each card, in addition to the color.

I'm extremely color blind and I had a real problem with this game at first. I constantly had to check the tiles by hovering over them. But now I'm used to the textures and I don't need to do that anymore. I agree that the color choices were bad but it's possible to just use textures instead.

Yes!
I'm not aware that I'm colour blind but for me a grey symbol inside a green ring looks green - took me a while to realise why I wasn't winning any tokens for all the green cards I was placing round it!
And the red and brown cards are also too similar
Only the yellow stands out clearly

That can be due to your display settings, especially filtering out green or other colours. You should start checking there :P
