Re: [Audyssey] Some practical questions reguarding the Monopoly game
Yep Haiden, as I said those hearts rule changes were game breakers imho as far as stratogy went, which is why if I were in that situation I'd want to use the standard rules, not because they're standard, but because they provide best for the game.

But then again if people like the rule fair enough, it's certainly not a game breaker the way I've seen some house rule changes. For example I remember one version of hearts where all the hearts counted their spot value, (ace as eleven), which made the game very whacky as compared to the standard rules since the ace of hearts was nearly as bad as the queen of space, and even if you lose one penalty point if it's the ace your in trouble. I also remember one version which utterly missed off shooting the moon. BEware the Grue!

That's fair enough Tom, and indeed I wasn't suggesting you create something like that, since for a start Talisman has already been pretty bad about stamping out computerized versions of their board games, (the scum). It just sometimes irritates me that while games like Talisman are intrinsically no less accessible than monopoly, there is no accessible version made of them. Beware the Grue!

In the Star Trek and Star Wars boards I had instead of money they were called credits which makes sense. In the Lord of the Rings version there was a ring that traveled around the board which had its own special rules quite apart from the bog standard Monopoly you are familiar with. I have considered writing a few accessible versions of these Monopoly games as they are in my opinion a lot more fun than the bog standard Monopoly game. Cheers! On 12/2/13, dark wrote: Well for a start the London version of monopoly that I know which is commonly used in the Uk doesn't use Dollars :D. Then again monopoly seems to have a lot of rule variation. When i originally played for example I always thought no buying on the first go around the board was an official rule and was quite surprised to find many players didn't. It makes for a longer game and also makes luck with the dice important to get off to an early start, but it does tend to result in players picking up properties in a more spread out way since obviously they will arive on the first few squares at different times. There was also a really weerd rule which I've seen some people play with that whenever a player loses cash to a chance or community chest card, that cash goes into the center of the board and the next person who lands on free parking can take it, though to me that one seemed just plane crazy, and I couldn't really see the point since you don't get paid for free parking in real life :d. And all this is of course apart from some of the whackier custom monopoly games with different rules and cards, albeit I've unfortunately never really got to play those myself as (as usual), the only accessible version in braille is the bog standard original one.

[Audyssey] Looking for dice program for Iphone
Well as we're discussing none computerized games I thought I'd ask this. Next week I've got a tabletop roleplay session at a different house to mine, so won't be able to use gma dice on my desktop as I usually do. I also don't have my laptop with me at the moment so it'd be great if there was a dice program for Iphone that would role D&D type dice. In particular I need it to roll 3 D20's and tell me the results of each individual dice. I also need it to be as quick to use as gma dice since I don't want to hold up the game while I fiddle about with my dice program. Any thoughts?

Re: [Audyssey] Some practical questions reguarding the Monopoly game
Hi Dark: I know. The problem is, as you well know, there is a certain mindset about the blind that we are all over 60, that we wouldn't be interested in anything like that, and so the companies that manufacturer and sell accessible card and board games tend to stick to the bog standard games like Monopoly without any variations. The problem is I can go to Walmart, Toys-R-Us, or any other mainstream store and find all kinds of interesting variations on basic card and board games. In Monopoly there was the Lord of the Rings, Star Trek, Star Wars, and several other variations. One of the coolest was the Millennium edition of Monopoly which had lighted houses and hotels, street lights, and made noises when your piece landed on one of the railroads etc. It was awesome, but of course they wouldn't make anything that cool for us. There also have been many variations on the game of Life. One of the variations I have is a Pirates of the Caribbean set where you get to play as one of the main characters from the movies, buy a pirate ship, and gather plunder. I have also scene, but never played, a couple of children's variations of Life such as one based on Sponge Bob Square Pants and another one based on the Simpson's. Both would be cute to own and play. Trouble, a game I don't believe has ever been made accessible, has had all kinds of variations too such as Star Wars, Disney, Transformers, etc. The variations don't really change the game much, but one thing I liked about the Star Wars edition of Trouble is there was an R2-D2 for the popper and it would light up, beep, and added something extra to the game besides the standard clear plastic bubble. Getting back to the point until we are able to effect the decisions of the people who make these games that we are just as interested in playing those games as the sighted person we are going to continue to get stuck with the same old boring versions of Monopoly, Life, Checkers, Chess, and whatever else are available through the blind organizations. Playing a game like Talisman isn't going to happen unless we make up our own accessible set of cards and boards etc. Cheers!

Re: [Audyssey] Some practical questions reguarding the Monopoly game
The official rules are that, if a property is landed on that has not been bought, it is immediately auctioned off, and everyone can bid on it. Strategy can come into play. If you know that nobody else can pay a given amount for the property, and that amount is less than the printed price of the property, and you are wealthy, put it up for auction and bid the price they cannot afford and get it for less. If you know that someone needs that property to have a monopoly, and you are wealthy, either raise the bid to more than they can afford or make them pay through the nose for it, which will give you a better winning possibility later on by breaking them. --- Shepherds are the best beasts, but Labs are a close second. - Original Message - From: "dark" To: "Gamers Discussion list" Sent: Tuesday, December 03, 2013 7:07 AM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Some practical questions reguarding the Monopoly game Hi Jim.

RPG Roller is not a toy. It's simply the best, most powerful gamer's tool for rolling polyhedra dice there is. No flashy, unnecessary graphics, no cute sounds, no gimmicks. Just a set of powerful features designed to let you roll dice however you need to roll them. RPG Roller provides a number of convenient ways to quickly roll dice without any messing around, and a wide arsenal of features: Powerful formulas: A feature-packed die rolling formula system, including keeping or re-rolling high/low rolls, dice with any number of sides, the ability to roll different kinds of dice at once, repeating rolls, roll threshold counts, exploding dice, imploding dice, Fudge dice, WoD 10-again rolls, and more. You can even define your own dice with whatever value you want on each side. Quick buttons: With just a single button press you can roll 10 six-sided dice to compute damage from a fireball spell, or 5 eight-sided dice to roll hit points for a random monster. Hot buttons: Define any number of your own color-coded buttons, using whatever title and formula you want. Save multiple hot button setups in profiles and switch between them at will. Backups of your hot buttons are optionally stored in iCloud and shared across all of your devices. You can even email your hot buttons to your friends! Roll History: Look back on previous roll results, with formula and each individual die roll (up to even a thousand dice). Formula History: Access previously used formulas, so you don't have to type them in again. Roll Bar: At the top of every page is a bar with a formula box, a roll button, and roll result area. There is a drop-down tray to view full results which hides when you don't want it. Random number generator: RPG Roller offers the best random number generation of any dice app, utilizing system events, accelerometer changes and other unpredictable data sources to stir the cryptographic quality random number pool. A rejection sampling method is used to avoid the pitfalls of modulo math that commonly affect other dice rolling applications. Other useful features, such as a formula composer, an animated roll distribution plot, shake-to-roll, VoiceOver support, button zoom for fat fingers, and more. Free: Perhaps the best feature of all is that it's free. This is not adware, and there's no crippled functionality, requiring you to buy the full version for the features you really care about.

Re: [Audyssey] Any Accessible Android Games
Hi. This is reopening an old topic, but one encouraging sign is that Android 4.0 and newer are becoming both standard and cheap. For an example, it used to be super easy to find stuff running older versions of Android, but now everyone's selling tablets and such with newer versions, again 4.0 and above. Add to this that Google is beginning to make their apps updatable separately from the OS and we're looking at a revolution, and hopefully a good one, in terms of stability and accessibility. The first is a mainstream concern, and it can't help but affect the second. Hopefully, that maturation discussed in this topic will come sooner rather than later, and this seems like a good first step.

Re: [Audyssey] Some practical questions reguarding the Monopoly game
Hi charlse. That is true, but I did always enjoy the strategic elements of landing on certian properties and waiting to see what happened. It almost became a game of poker, because if you land on a property someone else wants you can either A, see if you can force them to pay through the nose as you said, or B, buy it yourself and hold on to it to stop them getting the full set or wait to get it off them later. As I said, it makes for a longer game but I think I do prefer it without the auction myself.

Strategy can come into play. If you know that nobody else can pay a given amount for the property, and that amount is less than the printed price of the property, and you are wealthy, put it up for auction and bid the price they cannot afford and get it for less. If you know that someone needs that property to have a monopoly, and you are wealthy, either raise the bid to more than they can afford or make them pay through the nose for it, which will give you a better winning possibility later on by breaking them. --- Shepherds are the best beasts, but Labs are a close second. - Original Message - From: "dark" To: "Gamers Discussion list" Sent: Tuesday, December 03, 2013 7:07 AM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Some practical questions reguarding the Monopoly game Hi Jim.

I can see the point of auctions for properties landed on and not bought, though to be honest I don't particularly like that rule myself, since I prefer the strategic game of people choosing sets and completing them rather than just forcing sales as quick as possible.

Re: [Audyssey] Some practical questions reguarding the Monopoly game
Hi Charles, It is interesting that when I was a boy and we played Monopoly, we removed the auction rule completely. The only way to buy a property was to land on it. This lead to lots of buying on the first two or there go around and then a lull as no one had money to buy properties. Eventually you could only trade if you had a property someone else wanted and you had one that they wanted. Phil - Original Message - From: "Charles Rivard" To: "Gamers Discussion list" Sent: Tuesday, December 03, 2013 9:06 AM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Some practical questions reguarding the Monopoly game The official rules are that, if a property is landed on that has not been bought, it is immediately auctioned off, and everyone can bid on it. Strategy can come into play. If you know that nobody else can pay a given amount for the property, and that amount is less than the printed price of the property, and you are wealthy, put it up for auction and bid the price they cannot afford and get it for less. If you know that someone needs that property to have a monopoly, and you are wealthy, either raise the bid to more than they can afford or make them pay through the nose for it, which will give you a better winning possibility later on by breaking them. --- Shepherds are the best beasts, but Labs are a close second. - Original Message - From: "dark" To: "Gamers Discussion list" Sent: Tuesday, December 03, 2013 7:07 AM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Some practical questions reguarding the Monopoly game Hi Jim. I know you had that rule change in your game, it's just one which has always confused me a little as to it's logic. I can see the point of auctions for properties landed on and not bought, though to be honest I don't particularly like that rule myself, since I prefer the strategic game of people choosing sets and completing them rather than just forcing sales as quick as possible.

Re: [Audyssey] google chrome, chromevox, and games
Hi Nicol: I do not know about Jaws 14 but the latest Google Chrome works very well with NVDA 2013.3. If you don't want to use the NVDA screen reader Google Chrome has its own screen reader, Chromevox, which also does a fair job with Google Chrome too. So it can be made fairly accessible if you know what you are doing and have the right screen reader, but I have never tried it with Jaws.

Re: [Audyssey] Old accessible computer games.
Hi Lindsay: Well, I am not sure if you are including mainstream games or just games made for the blind, but there are a lot of games that could fall in either category. When I first arrived here on Audyssey, some 15 years ago, the most accessible games available were the various Dos games from PCs games. Things like Any Night Football, Panzers in North Africa, Kick Boxing, Cops, etc. I don't believe I purchased any of them, but I did demo the games. I haven't a clue where you would get any of them now. At the same time Jim Kitchen had his own Dos games, and all of those can be found on his Dos speech friendly games page on kitchensinc.net. All of those are early versions of Bopit, Trucker,and so on and you would be better off just downloading the new Text To Speech versions for Windows. Of course, those are just the ones made specifically accessible. Back in the 90's there were lots of text based games for Dos that were accessible such as Wrestling League Simulator and Facing the Empire to name a couple. The problem with many of those old Dos games are they are 16-bit executable and require a 16-bit compatible Dos environment such as a Dos emulator like Dosbox or an older version of Windows like XP to run them correctly. Newer operating systems like Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 will not run old 16=-bit Dos apps which excludes a boat load of old games from our gaming library on newer 64-bit platforms. Cheers!

Re: [Audyssey] Old accessible computer games.
I remember the game Adventure (also known as Advent or Colossal Cave Adventure). It was the first adventure game, and the first interactive fiction. It has been redone for Z-code and web browser. Also, Infocom games were interactive fiction, including Zork. They were originally written for Z-code back when only Infocom could write for Z-code; of course, in the late 80s and early 90s IF programmers reverse engineered the Z-code program so that people could program for it once again. But the old Infocom games are available on Amazon, I believe. I think there are free versions on ifarchive.org.

Re: [Audyssey] Some practical questions reguarding the Monopoly game
One of the games I still miss was based on the monopoly concept. You were trying to become the presidant of a company. if you failed you would become the cleaner. It was visual but I got materials and designed a board with cardboard and foil and with some braille dice and cards and some monopoly tokens was able to play. The game was called ulsas but I never played it more than twice before things got hectic. To be honest, I played all my games before 2000, before 1995 for 5 years I had almost no pc and then only a 386. in 1996 I got a pc but still was able to play. after 2002 or there abouts that got less till now. I have an xp system and a win7 system. everyone has tablets and phones. I think if there was a way to turn off all devices and the net I'd do it again. But there is email, social network, online games and sometimes I find myself just happily mucking round on youtube or slothing round on the pc when I know I shouldn't. I have tried to keep my reading alive but the scary thing is I could happily stop reading braille in fact stop doing everything I used to do when taught how to be blind to use the net. It may actually happen with others. Family that used to have time to play afterwork are so tired after looking at a screen all day they want to blob.Ofcause computer games are ofcause more superior than the crappy board ones, yet I still miss it. When the only thing you could hear would be the weather outside, when all you did in the next hour or less was get another coffee. That doesn't happen so much. And sadly a lot born into this age of consoles and other things may never play a game in their lives. I know, my cousins were born into the borg universe. They adapted a lot. They have played a few ugio games and some monopoly but most of it is simply the computer. They would probably play all night and day if they were not told to get off their consoles. Its why I made an effort to stay off social networks but much as I have tried, most of what I do is to be online all day and all night. Something new always comes up and when there isn't I end up mucking round chewing bandwidth listening to stupid vids, but not being able to get off again really. Some days like today the net calms down enough for me to think of times gone by.

This lead to lots of buying on the first two or there go around and then a lull as no one had money to buy properties. Eventually you could only trade if you had a property someone else wanted and you had one that they wanted.

Strategy can come into play. If you know that nobody else can pay a given amount for the property, and that amount is less than the printed price of the property, and you are wealthy, put it up for auction and bid the price they cannot afford and get it for less. If you know that someone needs that property to have a monopoly, and you are wealthy, either raise the bid to more than they can afford or make them pay through the nose for it, which will give you a better winning possibility later on by breaking them. --- Shepherds are the best beasts, but Labs are a close second. - Original Message - From: "dark" To: "Gamers Discussion list" Sent: Tuesday, December 03, 2013 7:07 AM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Some practical questions reguarding the Monopoly game Hi Jim. I know you had that rule change in your game, it's just one which has always confused me a little as to it's logic. I can see the point of auctions for properties landed on and not bought, though to be honest I don't particularly like that rule myself, since I prefer the strategic game of people choosing sets and completing them rather than just forcing sales as quick as possible. I can see the point if you want to speed the game up, but I prefer the slower game myself. Beware the Grue!

I have that option in my game of monopoly. I also have where you do or do not collect rent if you are in jail as well as an option for an auction for a property that is landed on, but not bought.

Re: [Audyssey] Any Accessible Android Games
Hi Dakotah: Yes, that is quite true. While I have been out Christmas shopping I have been looking at Android phones and tablets, and all of the ones I have seen are running at least 4.1 and later on them. Many have 4.3 which is a very good starting place for a blind Android user. So I'd say by next year this time we will see some higher accessibility standards and so forth out of Android just because Google is just now beginning to get their act together as well as many third-party Android software developers. What's more I have managed to uncover a number of accessible games for Android thus far. Not as many as there are for iOS, but quite a good selection for a beginner. I look for Android to close the gap with iOS soon as Android does seem to be heading in the right direction in terms of apps, games, and over all accessibility. Cheers!

Re: [Audyssey] google chrome, chromevox, and games
Hi Shaun: Okay? That is seriously weird. I have not noticed that problem myself, and it sounds to me like a corrupted operating system than a problem with Internet Explorer or Chrome. Cheers!

Re: [Audyssey] Some practical questions reguarding the Monopoly game
Hi Thomas, excellent point about affecting the decisions of manufacturers. Let me suggest that this is where our lobbies come in or rather, are supposed to come in. ;) Groups such as the ACB and NFB are really supposed to be fulfilling these roles as they do place themselves in the position of being the voice of the blind. Until we can simply get wide-ranging notions in place in society that we are just as varied a group of individuals as our sighted counterparts (though our numbers are much smaller) the lack of awareness will continue. Right now, the average individual really has only the occasional concept of the 'Hollywood' version of the blind person, in essence. Once that portrayal is gone from the consciousness then the subject never comes up again, until the next stereotypical 'Hollywood' portrayal arises. We need to not only have a more constant portrayal of blind individuals but also a more realistic and wide ranging portrayal of said individuals. In other words, many more of us need to be seen and heard from on a national and world stage, more often. This will help to enhance peoples' general consciousness on a daily basis and help to bring this community more out of the shadows. Short of this, I'm not sure how quickly progress will be made. Does this make sense? this sort of thing can start as simply as a person giving a talk at a school or library. Despite the fact that it may seem like we should be much further along than this, as a society in the 21st century, many, many people are still very interested / curious about how blind people go about their daily lives in the world. Many people really do want to understand and do care. this includes CEOs as much as it includes the quote average person. The info just needs to be out there more. :) This truly is a question of basic awareness. Thanks for a great topic!

The problem is, as you well know, there is a certain mindset about the blind that we are all over 60, that we wouldn't be interested in anything like that, and so the companies that manufacturer and sell accessible card and board games tend to stick to the bog standard games like Monopoly without any variations. The problem is I can go to Walmart, Toys-R-Us, or any other mainstream store and find all kinds of interesting variations on basic card and board games. In Monopoly there was the Lord of the Rings, Star Trek, Star Wars, and several other variations. One of the coolest was the Millennium edition of Monopoly which had lighted houses and hotels, street lights, and made noises when your piece landed on one of the railroads etc. It was awesome, but of course they wouldn't make anything that cool for us. There also have been many variations on the game of Life. One of the variations I have is a Pirates of the Caribbean set where you get to play as one of the main characters from the movies, buy a pirate ship, and gather plunder. I have also scene, but never played, a couple of children's variations of Life such as one based on Sponge Bob Square Pants and another one based on the Simpson's. Both would be cute to own and play. Trouble, a game I don't believe has ever been made accessible, has had all kinds of variations too such as Star Wars, Disney, Transformers, etc. The variations don't really change the game much, but one thing I liked about the Star Wars edition of Trouble is there was an R2-D2 for the popper and it would light up, beep, and added something extra to the game besides the standard clear plastic bubble. Getting back to the point until we are able to effect the decisions of the people who make these games that we are just as interested in playing those games as the sighted person we are going to continue to get stuck with the same old boring versions of Monopoly, Life, Checkers, Chess, and whatever else are available through the blind organizations. Playing a game like Talisman isn't going to happen unless we make up our own accessible set of cards and boards etc. Cheers!
