Five games in large format

The five board games offer the opportunity to experience your own tactile abilities in a playful way. The inclusive games were developed in an oversized format for visually impaired and sighted people alike.

Taktilo

An inclusive game with a domino effect!
All participants are blindfolded and can pull a tactile domino out of the bag and place it on the table when they feel a matching one.

A domino with four black, raised dots on a blue background on the left-hand side and six black, raised dots on a yellow background on the right-hand side.

Duo

An inclusive game in which memorisation takes centre stage!
You can train your memory with this game! There are sixteen tactile cards. Two of them are the same. The blindfolded player who finds the most pairs wins and is sure to be applauded by Lilani and Alex!

Enzyklo

An inclusive game that brings knowledge to the board!

A square, red playing card with rounded corners. In the centre is a raised Y in black lettering with a white border. Below it on the right is the black lettering 10 with a black outline and filled with white. Next to it in the left-hand corner is the number 10 in raised Braille.

0 + 10

An inclusive numbers and dice game!
Two dice are used in this game. Each time you roll the dice, you place the card corresponding to the number rolled on the playing field. You can also place several cards. For example, if you roll the sum of 8, you can place the following cards: the 8, the 3 + 5 or the 1 + 3 + 4. The zero is the valuable joker, you can use it for any number.
