Could someone who is color blind participate?

Yes, take a sharpie and write the letter of the color on each card. (R, G, P) colorblind or not you can evaluate that attribute then. Will be interesting to see if others key in on the letter or color as it is interesting how each person processes the set matches and exclusions differently.

YES!! I am totally colorblind, and I play it all the time. Mark the deck. To keep it from confusing normally-sighted players, use a red marker to draw a red line along the long edges of the red cards and a green marker to draw a green line along the short edges of the green cards. (Unmarked cards = purple.) Or mark one along edges, the other across corners. Whatever works - but a colorblind person can definitely play SET.

No, because two of the colors are red and green. The game would need to be modified to use colors that can be discriminated by all.

I had a difficult time with the cards. I ended up giving the game away. I didn't want to mark all the cards with a sharpie pen.

I am moderately colorblind and it is very difficult for me. The idea above of using a sharpie is one I will try.

The backs of the cards are orange and yellow. The colors on the fronts of the cards (which you use to play the game) vary -- some red, some yellow/gold, some blue, some green. It would be a problem if a person were colorblind, I would expect.

Should not be a problem. What might also help someone who has limited vision is a card stand, a platform you can make or buy that holds cards upright. It makes cards easier to see because they do not have to overlap as they must in your hand.

Colorblindness could perhaps cause some people some consternation at first. However, I think with some cooperation with the other players, something could be worked out, before the start, to alleviate this problem. I myself have a red/green defect in my vision, but had no problem once it was decided what colors on the train car cards and the route lines on the board matched up. Also, I needed to know what colors I saw in the playing pieces matched up with what the other players saw as colors. I enjoyed playing this game very much and hope anyone might be able to as well, with a little player cooperation. Colorblindness could perhaps cause some people some consternation at first.

I can...but the color of the product is very close to the color of my skin. Be sure to 'feather out' the edges!

Every case of colorblindness is different so you should consult your eye care provider. However, based upon my experiences, I would strongly recommend against it. For most people, these, and other glasses like them only help with certain shades of green, pink, red and purple. Relying on them for such a job could be dangerous.

It depends on how well your eyes track movement and see color. There will be a difference, but it probably won't be very noticeable.

Hi Margarita,From what I can tell you can't choose a specific color. The only choices are transitioning color and traditional color.

Not sure but with the colors of the set it would be easy to coordinate. We are using white with it.

I am awaiting a knee replacement and can't go look , but there are many shades of each color. You could possibly even layer two colors to get the effect of another shade.

Yes. It would have been better if the colors were from opposite ends of the color wheel. Like orange and blue. Then older people wouldn't have a hard time telling which color they needed. My set has green 6's and purple 9's.

Use a permanent market and color in the colors he can see.....it is a great game and hope you can select a color suitable.....it will take a few minutes to color all the tiles but worth the enjoyment in the end!!

It's more a question of the ages playing. We have a certain arbritary distance for adults and kids..according to their age and ability. Don't ge t hung up on rigid rules. Sometimes we compete for colors for younger kids a nd older ones can go for the numbers and practice their math. There is a list of ideas in the package.

As Obama says - Yes we can. But you must use software that will recognize the device. For that, use ColorHCFR which is freeware.

Yes, you can make each segment a different color, your have them cycle through a range of colors you choose. Very cool.

It's the R&R version, however I have played it and each color is given an artistically distinct firework design, as well as an associated symbol (presumably the kanji character for the color), so it is possible to play colorblind folks.

Not sure ... i am considered color blind because i cant pass the ishahara test ...but i can see colors just fine , such as traffic lights & rainbows etc. the oxy Iso glasses did not help me at all ...in fact , i made my own glasses with a $ 5.00 pair of lightly tinted glasses from walmart ..popped out the lenses ..put red thin film over the lenses & popped them back in ...with them i can see 19 out of the 24 ishahara plates ...anyway if you want to try the Oxy-Iso glasses they are super easy to return and get a full refund on if they dont work ..which i doubt they will anyway ...hope this helps ...good luck !!! K.T.
