Sturdy Plastic Checkers Set for The Blind & Visually Impaired, Tactile Pieces, Raised Squares, Pieces Stay in Place, Accessible Game That Uses No Braille-by Blind in Mind, The Braille Superstsore

Description

Designed with inclusivity in mind, this tactile Checkers Set allows individuals with visual impairments to fully enjoy the classic strategy game. Every element of the set has been thoughtfully crafted to ensure a comfortable, accessible gaming experience. The checkers pieces are double-sided to distinguish between regular and kinged pieces with ease. One side of each piece features a raised crown symbol, making it immediately identifiable when a piece has been "kinged." Both sides of the black pieces also include a large raised dot in the center; whether the piece is a regular or kinged piece, the dot ensures easy identification by touch. The white pieces are flat on both sides for simple recognition. This tactile design ensures players can easily differentiate between the black and white pieces, as well as identify which pieces have been kinged, all by feel. The game board is designed with optimal tactile navigation in mind. The black squares are raised slightly higher than the white squares, providing a clear distinction to help players move and place their pieces with ease. The white squares are recessed, offering a subtle dip that contrasts with the elevated black squares. On the black squares, you’ll find small, round holes that enhance tactile feedback and help secure the pieces during play. The bottom of each piece fits snugly into any hole in the board, holding it in place and ensuring pieces don’t get knocked over during play. When a piece reaches the other side, simply flip it over to indicate it’s reached king status! Additionally, to assist with orientation, the board features a rounded corner on the player's left-hand side. This tactile marker ensures that players can easily identify which corner is which, making setup and game-play straightforward, with or without sight. This checkers set is designed to provide an independent, enjoyable experience for players who are blind or have low vision. The raised elements of both the board and pieces allow players to feel their positions on the board, making it simple to place, move, and capture pieces. Whether you're a seasoned checkers player or new to the game, this set offers a seamless, tactile way to engage with the game of checkers. Crafted from durable plastic, this set is built to last. The board measures seven inches square and is thick and sturdy, ensuring stability during play, while the pieces are designed for long-lasting durability. Whether for casual games at home or more competitive play, this checkers set is the perfect choice for a fun, accessible gaming experience. This tactual version of checkers makes it easy for anyone to engage in the strategy and excitement of the game — no matter their level of sight. Since you don't have to know Braille to play, it makes a great starting point for kids or anyone of any age who's recently lost their vision. And when not in use, store the checkers pieces in the provided drawstring cloth bag. Also known as draughts in many parts of the world. Proudly made in the USA.
