I love this video, especially the chess and checker games! BRAVO CARRIE!!!

Good video, really good info, I'm so uplifted by your enthusiasm!

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.

Jenga is a really good game that you don’t have to adapt or buy in an adapted form

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

I love all types of Braille cards and my favorite board game is Blockus.

Those checkers sounds better even for sighted people too lol

I just discovered this channel and I am so happy for all the ideas! Awesome!!

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

Hi Carrie Great video x I love to pkay dominoes and card games with my daughter. There are other games but I struggle lol😊

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!

Even looking at videos for the game brings back memories

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.

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. ☺️

Fantastic video!

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

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! 😉❤️

Awesome video Carrie I like bop it to I played the New were one and got the max 300

Regarding puzzles, Hanoi Tower is really fun !

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.

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

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.

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.

Hello carrie new to your channel and really enjoying and relating to most of your videos thank you so much for sharing i personally enjoy taboo not even sure if it's accessible so i need to check it out just new to this lifestyle i would like to say and just getting out of depression and out of a limbaugh looking forward to seeing or hearing from you soon however we might put it correctly again thank you kisses from manila philippines

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!

When I had more patient than I do now are used to play on the Wii and my two favourite games for Harry Potter and the deathly Hallows part one and part two and don't forget we sports I love that game

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

hi i like your video

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.

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

My favorite game is uno. I got the cards from my high school VI teacher. And the cards were already brailled 1:10

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

HEY CARRIE, THANKS FOR A AWESOME VIDEO!!! I LOVE TO PLAY CARDS AND I LOVE TO PLAY VIDEO GAMES. HOPE YOU HAVE A WONDERFUL WEEKEND WITH YOUR FAMILY. JUST TO LET YOU KNOW I GOT YOUR E-MAIL. JUST HAVE NOT DECIDED YET WHICH WAY WOULD BE BEST TO DO THE APPLE STUFF. I WILL GET BACK TO YOU AS SOON AS I CAN. THANKS AGAIN CARRIE FOR YOUR WILLINGNESS TO HELP. HUGS. LOVE U AND YOUR WHOLE FAMILY!!!

I love board games to but using them gets harder and harder as I lose more sight. My most favorite card game is Canasta.

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

I love bingo Do they have bingo for the blind

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?

well I never tried any board game but I like "a blind legend" it is available on both of the smart phones, androiad and I-phones.... is there any video you have shared such games ?

Perfect for this time of social distancing

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.

I support a lady called Linda and was wondering if you have any information on online jigsaws for blind people, maybe with audio.

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.
