Hi.
Could it be a way to solve the accessibility problem of most boardgames for #blind users ?
I mean, there are people/structures working on making boardgames accessible, but that works only for some of them, for many boardgames there are structural problems that make accessibility impossible; so may this new layer of abstraction solve that ?

@LibreFaso Hey! Accessibility is definitely something I want to focus on - the game is in very early days currently, so there are a lot of features that still need to be added.

If you have links to any resources that can help educate me and others about how we can help make the game accessible to blind people, then please let me know, as I am still actively learning about this sort of stuff.

With the game being open source, I'm always open to feature requests on GitHub as well 🙂

Actually I'm like you, not really knowledgeable about the topic and trying to educate myself in order to be able to help the very motivated blind kids we've met...
Like we told them, we can help them learn free software, but they'll have to help us learn how to teach to blind kids.
I'll get back to you if I have better information/suggestions.

@drwhut Neat project, I did some translation work for the italian locale. I may need to give it a re-read, but otherwise I did the 100% of the main game.
