Okay people making board games into video games, please do a few things for me: - Research Accessibility - Research ADHD and Autism - Research Color Blindness - Research User Interface There are so many WONDERFUL board games getting turned into digital implementations.

I can honestly say that almost no board games turned into video games have appealed to me in the long term when it comes to accessibility and ease of use. Most of the UI and UX are TERRIBLE. The fonts are impossible to read and the text is often times too small.

The games are difficult to learn and are almost always incredible non-intuitive and the user is expected to know what they are doing by the time they get into the video game because the designer assumes they've played the physical version.

I know tutorials try to make up for this and people should play those first, however, that's a huge time sink. The reason why games like Among Us & Fall Guys do SO WELL is because their reach is EXTREMELY broad because they are INTUITIVE.

I've never even heard a voice over for any board game to video game tutorials outside of Carcassonne. Why aren't we doing everything we can to make digital implementations accessible to people? Is there a tutorial make in TTS? Why is there such a massive gap here?

I can argue all day long about how frustrating it is for me that board games are so often good games but don't do well because they aren't intuitive. This is why playtesting is so important. Find someone like me who is frustrated by games that don't make sense. They'll be honest.

I honestly think that simply having women on a team makes it so people actually pay attention to gameplay being intuitive. Look at all of the
@kidstablebg games. They all make logical sense and are clean and intuitive. That's why They're SO GOOD at making board games.2 replies 0 retweets 23 likesShow this thread -

I try most digital boardgame adaptations and I couldn't fill a top 10 recommendations list. TTS is even worse in terms of usability and interface.

If you want to play the Calliope Games with me later today, they are shockingly decent on TTS.

That sounds fun but it's already 23h03 here!
