Is r/blind interested in an auditory social deduction game played with smartphones? (self.Blind)
submitted by TheMunken
We are currently developing a social deduction boardgame (like werewolf or Mafia) - called Cover Blown!) - which instead of a dedicated game master uses the player's smartphones to distribute clues with simulated phone calls. These clues provide critical information in a murder case that players need to solve, and a dirty cop needs to disrupt and stall the investigation until the time runs out.

Is this something r/blind would be interested in playing? Do you play any other similar games and how well do they fare with the visually impaired? Do you often play with players that have vision and can guide you or do you have games you can play in a group only with blind players?
If we were to increase accessibility for visually impaired players which features (both physical and digital) do you think is good to have?

You can read/hear more about Cover Blown at http://coverblowngame.com where a how to play video is also available.

I will check the game out tomorrow but if you are interested in visual accessibility in board games check out my blog and podcast at https://sightless.fun

You should read the Secret Hitler article or listen to the first episode of the podcast if you like an audio version with some more details about making that game accessible to the blind.

Let me know if you have any questions.

To me, I'd much rather have accessible RPG's like Final Fantasy than more, and more, and more, and more, and more board and card games.

Sounds interesting! When it comes to a game on my smartphone if I can't play it myself I Tend not to play it. I have some sight and use a screen reader for most things. A lot of games don't support screen readers so I find myself being reduced 2 simple games that don't require much reading
