Meeples (Foxples) colours

While developing RUSE, I tried to use colours for players representing varieties of foxes (Vulpes) to remain faithful to the theme. I saw no logic in using yellow, blue, red and green foxes…

The colors are as follows:

The real critters…

Colour blindness

But since million of people see colours differently, I decided to take things further. To make Ruse more accessible to players struggling with colour blindness or other differences in visual perception, I tried to develop (as possible) a screenprint on the pieces that better differentiates meeples (foxples).

Here is a breakdown of the various tests carried out with the most recent design.

I won’t fix everything with this, but I hope it will improve the accessibility. So, if you have any comments, please write to me here.
