iOS games for both blind and sighted users.

Hi all,
My girlfriend and I discussed playing games together when we can't physically see each other, since we are in a long distance relationship. Therefore, I was wondering, what games besides Zanagrams and Dice World would be interesting for her as the one who is sighted in the relationship? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

there is an app, in beta, for the Playroom. like RS Games, it has games. monopoly, Uno, Blackjack, and many more. the difference is RS Games you have to play in the web client if sighted, 'cause the RS Games Client outputs to a Screen reader. the playroom, you can use the app. works quite welll.

My go to game for posts like this will always be "Blackbox". It is an interesting, and sometimes frustrating, puzzle game that most people can play. I will not say everyone, as it requires motor control, so there is that, unfortunately.

Still, if it is a game you are looking for between the sighted and the sightless, then Blackbox is definitely one to explore.

You can even play this with friends over iMessage.

I would be very interested in checking this out. Is it available in testflight yet, or would I be better off waiting until it's officially released? I was a bit underwhelmed by the rs games app. I paid for everything it was possible to get back when the app was first released, but honestly, I haven't found it to be all that convenient or intuitive to use compared to the desktop client. Hopefully the playroom app will be better whenever it becomes reality.

I enjoy playing Wordvoyance with my sighted friend. We used to play Game World as well but it hasn’t had updates quite a long time so it now has bugs and sometimes crashes.
