Game (changer) accessible for the visually impaired

Game (changer) is an inclusive and eye-opening board game, where dexterity, fast thinking, and humour matter when playing.
During the game's approximately 40-minute gameplay, players face physical challenges such as ‘losing’ their eyesight, arms or legs while simultaneously having to act out, describe, draw or make sound effects to help teammates guess what it says on their playing cards. Players must be quick-witted, open-minded and ready for a challenge. A challenge that many have learned to deal with or dealt with their entire life.
By experiencing the absence of human senses such as vision and touch during gameplay, the hidden motive is that players develop more compassion towards those who don’t have all of their senses and inspire them to think twice about what it’s like to be treated differently because of a disability. Evidence shows that techniques designed to get people to participate in a learning process produce better educational outcomes at virtually all levels and since people are proven to learn best by doing, experiencing a feeling firsthand is considerably the best method for educating people about what it's like to have impairments.
