Detailed description
-
• Please copy/paste the error message you see on your screen, if applicable.
All four of my kids are red-green colorblind. They actually can usually tell the difference between primary red and green, but cannot tell the difference between light yellow and green, like the yellow and green players from Can't Stop, and the yellow and green tiles from King Domino. There are dozens of ways to fix this -- I would be happy to give you feedback on ideas or play test things.

Report history
* Allow users to mark their pieces in each game with a symbol, stripes, etc. (could be used for any game -- would also help people with vision issues I suspect)
* Change meeple to colors that are easier to distinguish
* Have a high contrast mode which simplifies tiles and pieces so they are as easy to read and distinguish color on as possible
* Allow users to switch to color-blind mode on their computer
