Have you reached out to Kid Friendly Software? They've made three card games so far, I believe, all self-voicing and meant to be played by the blind, primarily. I'm sure that you could tell them your suggestion and they'd be willing to help. They've done Solitaire, Crazy Eights, and another one I can't think of right now, so they seem to be on a card game kick at the moment. > On Mar 7, 2015, at 8:21 PM, Amy Harris <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi all. > > The subject pretty much says it all I guess.
