Hi Jeremy, Although I've never played risk, so I'm not to sure how that game works, one turn based strategy audio game I really enjoy is tactical battle, it's a very enjoyable game and its free to play to.
The nice thing with this game is that you can just play the game as it is or you can design your own maps/boards, where everything is customizable including rules, maps, terrains, unit types etc so potentially (well depending on how the risk game you mentioned works) you may even be able to create a custom map/board that is similar to the risk game. Below is a link to the game and a brief description from the website about the game http://www.blindaudiogames.com/ description Tactical battle is an audio game made specifically for the blind. It is a turn-based tactical game played on a tile grid. You control multiple units with different skills and abilities and attempt to defeat the enemy team. -----Original Message----- From: Gamers [mailto:gamers-boun...@audyssey.org] On Behalf Of Jeremy Brown Sent: Tuesday, May 27, 2014 2:06 AM To: gamers Subject: [Audyssey] a personal request/challenge Dear all developers reading the list: I do not wish to cast stones. Developing games for blind players is difficult, time-consuming, and takes a great deal of thankless effort. Few it any developers reap much other than the satisfaction of knowing that their games are played and enjoyed by a grateful community. That said, I would like to throw an idea out there and see if anyone would like to bite. We have a number of Monopolies. There is at least one Scrabble. We have Backgammon, chess, card games, Snakes and Ladders, Life, etc. However, we do not have anything like Risk or other forms of strategy board game. I realize that the AI for such a game would be a very difficult proposition, but, I know, I personally, would be willing to shell out fairly substantial cash for a decent turn-based strategy game even with simple mechanics like Risk. If anyone is willing to pursue such a thing, or else, wants to jump on the request wagon with me, please do so:) Thank you all for the work you do to make games for our community, and I hope that no one takes this as a you guys rock but why don't you get off your lazy posterior and do my favorite game. It isn't meant that way. It's merely an observation. The most common games done are exploration/puzzle/card games. The ones that go outside this area are often more arcade style or reproductions of PC games. If I missed an accessible strategy game that is turn-based etc, please throw it at me off list and I'll be happy to retract what I have said and grovel for a day:) Take care, Jeremy -- In the fight between you and the world--back the world!
