α’αααΈααααα βα’αα‘α·α ααααΌαα·αααα
This book helps readers to build understanding and empathy across the various categories of accessibility. Chapters on each category introduce βthe scienceβ, outline the game mechanics and games that show exemplar problems, relate these to the real-world situations that every player may encounter, and then discuss how to create maximally accessible games with reference to the accessibility guidelines and specific games that show βbest-in-classβ examples of solutions.
This book will be of great interest to all professional tabletop and board game designers as well as digital game designers and designers of other physical products.
