Researched October 2026 — prices are snapshots from the stores named, stock on braille editions fluctuates, and items found only in a legacy catalog are flagged as possibly discontinued

The complete blind board games catalog — 150+ games, organized by category

First, how blind play actually works — because once you know the four mechanisms, every listing below explains itself. Cards are read in the corner: braille editions emboss each card’s rank, color, or value in braille on the corner (sometimes two corners), while the printed face stays identical for sighted players — one deck, whole table, nobody accommodated and nobody left out. Boards are read by position: tactile editions raise the light squares, drill the board for pegged pieces that can’t be knocked across the room, and tell the two sides apart by touch — a dot, a ridge, a different top. Chess adds braille grid coordinates, so a position can be called out and verified by hand. Dice are read by raised dots — bigger than standard, sometimes wooden, sometimes a full polyhedral set for role-playing games. And the newest layer: accessibility kits. A kit is a set of transparent braille sleeves or stickers, QR codes, and sometimes 3D-printed pieces that braille a mainstream game you buy at retail — the kit alone is not a game, a fact this page states on every kit it lists.

The market has four layers, and knowing them is the shopping skill: factory braille editions from mainstream makers (Mattel’s UNO Braille above all); specialty retailers — Blind in Mind’s Braille Superstore, MaxiAids, LS&S, the Sharper Vision Store — selling tactile and braille versions of the classics; adaptation makers, above all 64 Ounce Braille, a nonprofit with 100-plus kits and original games of its own; and small makers, mostly on Etsy, doing braille dice, tiles, and puzzles one at a time. Prices on this page are October 2026 snapshots from those stores. Stock on the big braille editions genuinely comes and goes — if a listing matters to you, check the store before a birthday depends on it. The toy department carries the giftable highlights of this shelf; this page is the full catalog. See the game highlights in the toy department →

1. Braille editions of mainstream games

The games everyone already knows, in editions where the braille is part of the product — not an aftermarket sticker job.

UNO Braille (Mattel) — about $10–$20 · Amazon, Target, toy stores.

The flagship: all 112 cards brailled with color, number, and action, developed with the National Federation of the Blind and re-released in January 2026. Braille quick-start cards are included, and icons on the cards also aid colorblind players. The stock warning, plainly: this deck sells out and third-party prices swing ($15–$35 seen) — at $10–$20 from a normal retailer it’s right; above that, wait for restock. MaxiAids, LS&S, and the Sharper Vision Store also sell their own brailled UNO decks at $13–$20 — same game, adapted by the retailer instead of the factory.

UNO variants in braille — UNO Flip, UNO Dos, UNO Emoji — about $17–$25 each · Braille Superstore, MaxiAids.

The spin-offs, brailled the same way: Flip (double-sided cards), Dos, and Emoji. Player’s choice of which UNO the table prefers — all three exist, so the blind player isn’t the reason the family plays the plain one.

Braille Monopoly — two editions — Reizen edition $99.95 (plus $10 shipping) at MaxiAids · Blind in Mind edition $149.95 at the Braille Superstore.

Both are the full game: a large board (the Reizen is 20 inches) with braille overlay molding, brailled dice, cards, and money, in UEB braille. The honest comparison: two makers, two prices, same destination — read both listings and pick on price and availability, because our research found no blind-player verdict separating them. The $50 gap is real money; the cheaper edition is not a lesser game on any evidence we found.

Braille Monopoly Bid — $19.95–$21.95 · MaxiAids, Braille Superstore.

The fast card-game cousin of Monopoly: 110 brailled cards (action, money, property) in a complete, quick game — Monopoly’s property-set idea at card-game length and a card-game price.

Braille Scrabble (Blind in Mind) — $114.95 · Braille Superstore.

A 15-inch rotating turntable board, tiles in braille plus raised print, and the double/triple squares marked by touch — Scrabble is a spelling game, and every part of it that was visual has a tactile equivalent here. Vision Australia sells a large-print braille edition (AUD $176) with pegged corners that hold tiles in place. Budget alternative: 3D-printed braille Scrabble tiles on Etsy (price not captured) that drop into a standard board you already own.

Phase 10 Braille (Reizen) — $21.95 · MaxiAids. Skip-Bo Braille — $29.95 · Braille Superstore (a kit for the retail game exists at 64 Ounce). Rook Braille — $18.95–$19.95 · MaxiAids, Braille Superstore (64 Ounce sells a full print+braille edition, about $25).

The rummy-and-trick-taking shelf: Phase 10’s brailled number and color on every card, Skip-Bo’s sequential building, Rook’s trick-taking — three different card-game nights, all fully brailled, all under $30.

Scrabble Slam Braille (Reizen) — $34.95 · MaxiAids and sister stores. LCR — Left Center Right, Braille edition — $18.95 · MaxiAids.

Scrabble Slam is the four-letter-word speed game on large cards with raised braille on each. LCR is the dice-and-chips party staple — roll, pass chips left, center, or right — in a brailled set.

The MaxiAids adapted card-game shelf — $19–$45 each · MaxiAids.

Mainstream card games adapted with braille by the retailer: Rat-A-Tat-Cat, 3Up 3Down, Blink, Go Low, Cover Your Assets, Pit, Fletter, Canasta Caliente, and a brailled Rack-O — plus Rock Paper Scissors Braille ($19.95), the card version of the hand game. If a family card game exists, this shelf is the first place to check for its brailled twin.

2. Tactile classics — chess, checkers, backgammon, dominoes

The pegboard shelf: raised squares, pieces that lock into holes, and sides distinguished by touch. These are the games blind players have played longest, and the selection shows it — most classics exist at three or four prices from three or four stores, which is exactly how it should be.

Tactile & braille chess — tactile sets $26–$30 (Braille Superstore, LS&S, Independent Living Aids) · wooden tactile set $38.95 · braille sets with grid coordinates $40–$65 (Braille Superstore, Etsy, ChessHouse).

Raised light squares, pegged pieces that stay where they’re put, a tactile mark telling white from black. The braille editions add grid coordinates so positions can be read and recorded by hand. How to choose: the ~$30 plastic tactile set and the ~$40 braille set play the same game — pay for wood or braille coordinates if you’ll use them, not by default. The toy department’s family shelf carries the $39.50 Sharper Vision set; this is the wider field.

Tactile checkers — full sets $30–$34 (Braille Superstore, MaxiAids, LS&S) · travel set $14.95 · Chinese checkers $13.95.

Raised white squares with holes, dotted pieces, and the elegant part: flip a piece over to crown it, and the crown is a different feel. The travel set’s pegs use dots and notches and pack small.

Tactile backgammon — $24.95–$32.95 standard · MaxiAids Deluxe $59.95.

Textured or raised points, shaped checkers told apart by touch, tactile dice included. Three prices for one game — the deluxe buys materials and case, not different play.

Dominoes with raised dots — double-six sets $13–$22 (Braille Superstore, LS&S, Sharper Vision Store) · oversized wood set $16.95 (ILA).

Twenty-eight tiles, raised dots, a tactile center line — dominoes were always a touch game wearing a visual costume. Also on the shelf: a braille book of rules for 14 domino games (Braille Superstore, price not captured), and 64 Ounce’s Mexican Train and Double-Double Dominoes kits (about $25–$35, requiring the retail sets). Flagged: a “Tri-Domino Game Tactile-Braille” appeared as a new MaxiAids listing in our research — verify it’s a full set before ordering.

The rest of the pegboard shelf — Braille Superstore unless noted.

Connect Four, tactile ($24.95 — one color’s discs have center holes, drop by feel) · Othello ($29.95, pegged reversible discs) · Parcheesi ($14.95) · Snakes and Ladders, full-size wood ($34.95) · wooden Tic-Tac-Toe ($9.95, shaped pieces that fit by touch) · Nine Men’s Morris (price not captured) · Shut the Box, brailled (price not captured — roll the dice, flip the numbered tiles, add by touch) · Racing Crown ($11.95). Plus braille rule books for chess, checkers, Othello, and Parcheesi ($8.95) — because a game you can’t read the rules of isn’t finished being accessible.

3. Designed for blind players — original games from specialty makers

64 Ounce Braille original games — mostly $25–$65 · 64ouncebraille.com.

64 Ounce Braille is a nonprofit that designs full games in print + braille from the start, not adaptations: Pot to Kettle ($65, an Apples-to-Apples-style party game), ReVision ($30, trick-taking with changeable rules), Superfight (the party debate game, in braille), 1000 Yards ($25), 5 Suits ($25), Acorns ($25), plus Letters, Ladders, Tidal, Splash, I’ll Pass, Got 1: No Remorse, Detect, Strung Along, The Parcel, Community Farm, a tactile-world-map Conquest, ¡Lotería! Mexican Bingo, and a full braille Rider Tarot deck. Their Chinese Chess ($125) is 3D-printed pieces on an acrylic board, every piece identified by touch. Know before you buy: everything is print-on-demand — allow two to three weeks.

Blind in Mind originals — Braille Superstore.

The store’s own line: a braille scoreboard ($34.95, tracks 1–4 players over 10 rounds by touch — the quiet enabler of every dice and card game on this page), a tactile dice cup set ($16.95), tactile poker chips (each color a different shape) and braille poker chips ($49.95, five denominations), a tactile cribbage board, a wooden braille dreidel ($9.95), braille emotion cards, and a full bingo line — boards from $6.95, a call board at $13.95, a family pack at $49.95. Several of these are listed without prices on the shelf pages — flagged here as price not captured where our research couldn’t read one.

Etsy & small makers — Etsy unless noted.

Braille Sudoku set ($39.95 — tactile board and pegs; puzzle packs separate) · braille mahjong kits ($24–$295) · tactile memory game ($26) · tactile marble solitaire ($39) · a second braille scoreboard (about $52) · and the non-braille alternative worth knowing: notched playing cards ($9.49) and notched Euchre cards — a notch code instead of braille, for players who don’t read braille. Different access needs, different tools, both legitimate.

4. The accessibility kits — braille the games you already own

64 Ounce Braille’s biggest idea: you don’t re-buy the game, you make your copy accessible. A kit is transparent braille sleeves or stickers for the cards, QR codes for the text, and — for board games — 3D-printed pieces and thermoformed board overlays. Every kit below requires the retail game, bought separately, and kits typically run $15–$65 (most $20–$40). This is the longest shelf in the catalog — a hundred kits deep — so it’s grouped the way game night is grouped.

Strategy & hobby board games — kits at 64ouncebraille.com.

Catan · Ticket to Ride (and Ticket to Ride New York) · Azul · Carcassonne · Pandemic · 7 Wonders ($40) · 7 Wonders Duel ($35) · Splendor (and Duel) · Stone Age · Kingdomino · Machi Koro · Colt Express · Lost Cities · Jaipur · Kahuna · Parks · Lanterns · Between Two Cities · Power Grid (card game) · Dominion (and expansions) · Tiny Epic Defenders. These are the modern classics of board gaming — the kits are how a blind player sits down at the same table, with the same box, as everyone else.

Card games — kits at 64ouncebraille.com.

Hanabi ($20) · The Mind · The Crew · The Grizzled · Love Letter · Coup · The Resistance · Secret Hitler · Bang · Incan Gold · No Thanks · For Sale · Diamonds · Push · Red7 · Tichu · Friday · Herbaceous · Enchanted Plumes · Point Salad · Trash Pandas · Skyjo · Five Crowns · Wizard · Munchkin (and expansions, plus Star Munchkin) · Boss Monster · Smash Up (and expansions) · Red Dragon Inn · Dominion is above with the strategy shelf — it lives in both worlds, like the game does.

Party & family games — kits at 64ouncebraille.com.

Exploding Kittens (and expansions) · Cards Against Humanity ($35) · Apples to Apples (and Jr., $65) · Unstable Unicorns · Llamas Unleashed · Bears vs Babies · Happy Little Dinosaurs · Doomlings · Sushi Go (and Party) · Taboo · Scattergories · Balderdash · Snake Oil · Poetry for Neanderthals · Happy Salmon · Hand-to-Hand Wombat · We Didn’t Playtest This At All · On a Scale of 1 to T-Rex · Monopoly Deal (about $20–$30) · UNO Flip, No Mercy, and Teams · DOS · Phase 10 · Skip-Bo · Rack-O ($15) · 5 Alive ($20) · Don’t L.L.A.M.A. · Guillotine · 12 Days · Moose Master · Birds of a Feather · Dealt · Melee · Inheritors.

Kids’ & classic board games — kits at 64ouncebraille.com.

Clue (about $25–$35) · Sorry (about $25–$35, thermoformed board overlay, 3D-printed pieces, brailled cards) · Candy Land (about $25–$35, shape-coded 3D-printed pieces) · Chutes and Ladders (tactile ladders and chutes you can feel, braille spinner) · Sequence · Encore · Castle Panic (and expansions) · My First Castle Panic · My First Orchard · Brandon the Brave · Monza · Sleeping Queens (and 2) · Tsuro · Blokus · Qwirkle · Hive · Shifting Stones · Coloretto · Bohnanza (and My First Bohnanza) · Can’t Stop · Roll for It · Farkle · LCR · Dominoes and Mexican Dominoes.

One honest note on the classics: our research found no buyable braille Risk, Battleship, or Trouble anywhere — the Clue and Sorry kits are as close as those families get. If a listing elsewhere claims otherwise, it’s the thing to verify before money moves.

5. Card games & braille decks

Start here if you’re new: one braille deck of ordinary playing cards unlocks every card game your family already plays. The options differ in material, print size, and how the braille is placed — several prices, no funnel.

Braille playing cards — paper deck $6.95 (Braille Superstore) · plastic decks $7–$10 (Braille Superstore, LS&S, Independent Living Aids, Sharper Vision Store).

Print plus braille, so the deck serves the whole table. Plastic wins for longevity and spills and can be washed; paper wins on price. The Sharper Vision deck is the one on the toy department’s family shelf — same deck, same $10.

Large-print & jumbo braille cards — $9.95–$19.95 · MaxiAids.

For low-vision players: jumbo print with braille in one corner ($9.95), braille on two corners ($9.95), giant-size cards with braille ($19.95), and a discreet one-corner braille deck ($8.69) whose marking stays subtle. Reizen’s Elite low-vision cards pair braille with 1.25-inch numerals at $5–$10. Vision is a spectrum; this shelf is the low-vision end of it.

EZC Playing Cards — $4.95 · MaxiAids, LS&S.

The budget code deck: cards coded for visually impaired players by a tactile system rather than braille — the cheapest way in, and the right one for a player who doesn’t read braille. (Our research flags the code as tactile rather than braille — verify the system suits you before a game night depends on it.)

Specialty decks & accessories — $8–$40.

Braille Pinochle decks (about $10, MaxiAids and Braille Superstore) · a braille card kit with two decks, two dice, and a holder ($39.95, Braille Superstore — the game-night-in-a-box) · English Braille poker cards from CNIB SmartLife in Canada ($24.95 CAD — flagged: sold out in our research) · and the accessories that make long games comfortable: card holders, a six-deck revolving holder, shufflers, and trays ($7–$20 across the specialty stores).

6. Dice games & tactile dice

Raised-dot dice — pairs $2.95–$4.95 · singles $3–$6.

Plastic pairs with raised black dots ($2.95, Braille Superstore), wooden pairs in teak with raised silver dots ($4.95), LS&S braille dice ($2.95 a pair), and the large 1.25-inch tactile die ($2.95–$5.50 at LS&S, Sharper Vision, ILA). The cheapest shelf in the catalog, and the highest leverage: five or six tactile dice plus the scoreboard from category 3 turn any dice game — Yahtzee, Farkle, Bunco, LCR — into a game you score yourself.

Yahtzee, played by touch — tactile dice cup set $16.95 (Braille Superstore).

A cup and six large braille dice; score on the braille scoreboard or a large-print pad. Flagged honestly: Blind in Mind’s dedicated wooden Yahtzee set appears in their game directions, but our research couldn’t confirm a current listing — the cup set plus any five tactile dice is the verified route. Etsy sells a five-die 3D-printed braille Yahtzee set ($14) with an orientation bar on each die.

Polyhedral braille dice — the RPG shelf — sets about $25–$35 (64 Ounce Braille) · files about $1 (DOTS RPG Project).

A full braille polyhedral set (d4 through d20) for role-playing games — the d20 descends from the project’s original Kickstarter. The DOTS RPG Project, a nonprofit, sells 3D-print files for braille and Fate dice for about a dollar if you or a friend has a printer, and is building braille rulebooks to match. Tabletop RPGs run on narration and dice — they were always closer to blind-friendly than the hobby admitted.

7. Word games

Bananagrams with Braille Tiles — $39.95 · MaxiAids (kit about $20–$30 at 64 Ounce).

The crossword-building race with braille letter tiles. Two routes — the ready-made braille edition, or the kit for a retail set — at two prices; take the one that fits whether you already own the game.

Braille Lexicon — $29.95 · MaxiAids. Lock Letters — about $25–$40 · 64 Ounce Braille.

Lexicon is the classic anagram card game in braille (listed as a vintage edition — stock is the thing to check). Lock Letters is a full original crossword tile game built on braille contractions — a word game designed for braille readers rather than adapted for them, which makes it the connoisseur’s pick on this shelf.

Scattergories Combo Kit — about $30 · 64 Ounce Braille. Quiddler & WordSpiel kits — about $20–$30 each · 64 Ounce.

The Scattergories kit replaces the letter die with a braille 20-sided die and the lists in large print and braille. Quiddler and WordSpiel are word-card games kitted the same sleeve-and-sticker way. Also here: a braille Alphabet Die ($10, 64 Ounce) for any word game that rolls for a letter.

For young spellers — Boggle Jr. Brailled (MaxiAids — price not captured; cards and letter cubes in raised braille) · Vocabulary Fun spelling game, braille ($44.95, MaxiAids) · braille Old Maid and Go Fish (about $30 each, MaxiAids).

Word play at reading age: matching and spelling games where the braille is the lesson as much as the game.

8. Party games that work without sight

Three kinds live here: party games designed or kitted for braille (Pot to Kettle, Superfight, the Cards Against Humanity and Exploding Kittens kits in category 4), talking/electronic games, and — the shelf nobody lists — the mainstream games that never needed adapting at all.

No adaptation needed — mainstream prices, any game store.

Jenga and tumbling towers (pure touch and nerve — the mainstream set is the accessible set) · Mafia / Werewolf (roles dealt on cards a moderator reads, or braille cards from category 5’s decks — the game is talking and accusing) · pick-up sticks · Crocodile Dentist ($15.95 at MaxiAids — press a tooth, feel the snap; a tactile kids’ game sighted families already own) · and the dice games from category 6, which are party games the moment five people are shouting over them.

Bingo, every way — boards from $6.95 (Braille Superstore) · braille bingo card $16 (Sharper Vision Store).

Braille bingo boards with indented slots that hold the markers, call numbers, a call board ($13.95), family packs ($49.95), and 64 Ounce’s braille bingo card sets and ¡Lotería! — Mexican bingo — as a full original game. Bingo is a caller’s game; the caller was always audible. The card was the only visual part, and it’s solved at three prices.

Flagged: possibly discontinued — verify before you hunt

Our research found these only in a legacy Independent Living Aids catalog scan, not on any current store: the FREEZE UP! talking memory game, an accessible Hot Potato, Po-Ke-No ($7.95 in the old catalog), a brailled Rummikub, and brailled Crazy Eights, Go Fish, and Old Maid (about $8 in the old catalog — note MaxiAids sells braille Old Maid and Go Fish at about $30, in category 7, so those two games exist even if that edition doesn’t). They’re listed here because a complete catalog says what it couldn’t confirm — not listed as buyable, because we couldn’t confirm they are. An electronic Catch Phrase (mainstream, audio timer) is the living relative of FREEZE UP! — verify the current model’s sounds before a party depends on it.

Where to buy — the vendor shelf
