Accessibility Charts

The Game Therapy Network uses the experimental accessibility diagnostic framework of Meeple Like Us to analyse board games into six key areas of accessibility:

– Visual, relating to blindness, visual impairment, and colour blindness
– Cognitive, relating to issues of memory, fluid intelligence, attention and emotiveness
– Physical, relating to fine-grained and gross motor skills. That is to say, motor skills involving large movements rather than those that are horrible.
– Communication, relating to issues of hearing, of talking, of reading, and of expression.
– Emotional, relating to issues of anger and despair.
– Socioeconomic, relating to issues of representation, gender portrayal, inclusion, and cost.

Further, detailed, explanations of these techniques can be found here

If a chart is not visible on a game you are looking at – that is because it has not been assessed yet.

An example chart can be seen on the following game: Concordia.
