Braille Dice

Shapeways Computer Generated Image

Blind people deserve to have some fun too. These dice which don't come with any games standard, can open up the game world to them too.

There are many games for blind people, e.g. this one http://www.marland.de/Brettspiele.776.0.html?&cHash=7d1cbbb4b6&detail=1235 , but looks like they are more expensive than the standard edition. Maybe a good idea to create 3D models for Shapeways for it. Maybe not exactly for this game, because of trademarks, but should be easy to create non-trademarked similar games, e.g. with hex fields.

I didn't know blind people have a problem reading dice... most of them are grooved, i assumed they have a problem moving the pawns to the right place and reading the in-game cards
