: Use proper tags so screen readers can accurately describe page structure.

Alt Text for Images: Every card image, button, and icon needs descriptive alt text. “Ace of Spades” is infinitely better than “card_image_01.png”.

ARIA Landmarks: These HTML attributes act as GPS for screen readers, labeling regions like the “main game area,” “player hand,” and “discard pile.”

Sufficient Color Contrast: Don’t rely on color alone to convey information. Pair it with text or symbols.

The Human Element: It’s Still a Social Game

At its heart, rummy is about connection. Whether online or in person, a little human consideration goes a long way. In a physical game, this means verbalizing your actions clearly—”I’m drawing from the closed deck,” or “I’m discarding the nine of hearts.” In a digital game, using the chat function to announce “Good game!” maintains that social thread.

The landscape is changing, for sure. It’s shifting from making accommodations to building inclusive design from the very start. The goal isn’t just to play the game. It’s to experience the same thrill of a perfect sequence, the same tension of a risky draw, and the same satisfaction of a well-earned win. It’s about ensuring that for visually impaired rummy players, the next move is always theirs to make.
