my husband is color blind and can't see the red and green. Any suggestions of what we could do with the tiles?

I would mark the red with a small r and the green with a small g with a magic markers he can know the reds and the greens

Use a permanent market and color in the colors he can see.....it is a great game and hope you can select a color suitable.....it will take a few minutes to color all the tiles but worth the enjoyment in the end!!

Take a fine point permanent marker and write an "R" or "G" on the face of the tile accordingly.

Try using a permanent marker color in a shade that will differentiate the tiles from the others. Good luck.

mmm?....chose two colors he can detect and paint the red and green? Paint the red tiles with a little "square" in the circle and the "green" with a little "triangle"? Place a sticker of a cat on the red and a dog on the green. There are all kinds of stickers you could use so he can "match" them up to each other. Good luck.

I have a friend who does not see well anymore and likes to plan Tile Rummy. I marked the tiles with nail polish in the circles below the numbers. I used bright blue for the red and clear for the green. She can see the clear because, not only can she feel it, but it is shiny. No problem seeing the bright blue. Don't know if this will help your husband, but it did the trick for my friend. Good luck!

Go to Hoyle Bucks in the Game Items section, and continue to scroll through the items until you see the items for sale that you can't see beforehand. In other words, the "invisible" items. Click "Buy" or "Purchase" next to each one of these, and you'll have all of your colored dice. I also was interested in using the colored dice, but after trying each of these different colors, I personally decided that the white and cream colored dice were the best looking ones, even though they were the colors already unlocked to use when I first installed the game. The various colors such as red, green, purple, and other ones didn't make the Zilch game any more entertaining to play. By the way, does your "Help and Strategy" section work at all? When I click on that, nothing happens.

It is a long time since I unpacked it. As far as I remember, there was a removable bezel which you could have painted any color. Or you could make a picture frame for it. It is such a good product that I would think it worth going to such effort if the color is that important to you. When it is running, you don't really notice the color.

The game, out of the box, is still unplayable. On BoardGameGeek, there are two references for colorblind players made by fans, linked here:http://boardgamegeek.com/filepage/29506/colorblind-referencehttp://www.boardgamegeek.com/filepage/29933/colorblind-reference-v2

We already have a color called Seed Green (Benjamin Moore I think) as an accent wall behind the headboard and a color called Jicama (warm buttery cream) on the rest of the walls. Really anything would work, it is a very pretty and colorful quilt but does fade a little so might want to wash it separately in cold water. We used it as a light weight summer quilt and have bumped up to a warmer quilt now that temps approach freezing at night. Good luck!

If you use the remote, cycle it to the red. If it doesn't start cycling automatically, go through the colors again and stop at red. I couldn't figure it out, but my eight year old son did.

Nancy, The tiles are natural wood (no red tint whatsoever) with black lettering. Hope this helps. Score BIG!

We will have to get this fixed - there are definitely images available. Here is the inside of another color for your reference in the meantime http://www.amazon.com/CD-612-Hardwood-Multimedia-Storage-Cabinet/dp/B0015S8IMI/ref=sr_1_6?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1394287827&sr=1-6&keywords=CD-612

Our neighbor is color blind and has trouble playing the game. We tried to play Quirkle with him but he cannot play that either but figured out that if we print out numbers or a shape for each color and place them on the squares then he can play with us. Not sure how you would do that with the trains. I guess it would depend on how bad the color blindness is. He cannot distinguish the colors of the trains.

The tiles are about 2 x 2 and pretty easy to see. I guess it would depend how poor the vision is. It may be a little fast paced. With poor vision it would at very least take longer to do the word games and they are all time based. Hope this helps!

How strange! The one I have is clear, and when I purchased it, there was no red option at all. It must be an error, and really, it wouldn't be very attractive. The product is clear, and it's very impressive -- worth the extra money. Enjoy it!

Hi. In answer to your question, I did something similar. The entire sheet was going to clash with my other tile, so I used a black pencil line border and 2 strips of the Orgamy silver glass tile. It gives exactly the touch of glamour I wanted. I would suggest laying the tile out on a flat surface to see what you think. I took a photo of the layout and put it on my computer so that I could live with it for a day or so. Best of luck on your project. Dawn

The red ones seem to be the ones that don't work for me either. It must be something about how they detect it is dark. No suggestions, other than it would be nice if they sold sets of the same color!

Yes! We initially bought the MagnaTiles and wanted more. You really have to look to figure out which tile is which. The colors are slightly different - but only slightly. My granddaughters (and other children who come) LOVE the tiles!

The "train cards" for buying track are colored, but they also have a symbol in the corner, and the colored tracks have the same symbol to match the corresponding cards, so I think a color-blind person could play without a problem.

I bought these for my son as a gift but his are red. Sorry I couldn't be of help.

I'm guessing they are going with red+blue = violet, red+green = yellow, blue+green= teal, and red+green+blue= white. These colors only appear in the areas of overlapping colors. The lights are so close together that there is some overlap. It is unmistakably RGB, but on a white wall, other colors, particularly white, can be seen.
