Tabletop miniature games (Warhammer/Blood Bowl) accessibility for a blind person?
Hello!
I drive rideshare on the weekends. Today I drove a blind gentleman (completely blind, did not ask if acquired or congenital) who plays board games. I too play board games, so we got to talking about them. I told him I play Warhammer and other Games Workshop tabletop games. He expressed the desire to play them sometime, so we got to talking about accessibility options. Blood Bowl, which is fantasy (elves and trolls fantasy) American NFL football played on a grid seems the most viable option.
I'm thinking of him having a 3D printed version of the gridiron with grid notation on the sides and both players can call out moves (touching someone else's models is a faux pas in the hobby), and he can move figures on his grid. The dice are touch readable, and rolling in a dice box/dice tower is the standard already in the hobby, so that does not present an obstacle.
Does anyone have any accessibility ideas/options that might be of use in this situation? I did email Games Workshop as well, but I'm unsure how helpful they will be on ideas.
