However studies of sight disabled people only focus on school and careers, rarely pay attention to their spiritual and entertainment requirements. Sight disabled people absolutely entitled to have hobbies and social life just like ordinary people. Writer interviewed with many seriuos sight disabled people and learned that the variation of their recreation activities is limited due to sight disabilities. Normally only verbal communication, difficult to join group activities. This is mainly because of our society does not value entertainment rights of sight disabled people. Board games became popular during recent years in Taiwan. The biggest difference between board games and other recreation activities is it does not require big space as well as no age limitation. Game players are able to play it face to face therefore more interactive with other people. Compare with the isolation and separation of internet world, playing board games is much easier to feel the real emotions and to well behaved. But current board games are mostly depend on good eye sight to observe and proceed. Majority of sight disabled people are unable to experience the fun part. Hence it is difficult to improve social skill and expand social relationships via board games for sight disabled people Writer participated board games design and creation training classes to learn structures and categories of board games. And collect all kind of reports and sight disabled people friendly games in order to well developed this research. Furthermore, writer interviewed 3 board game experts (sight disabled player, experienced player and game lecturer) to gather. Necessary information to confirm my design concept to let sight disabled people fit in the scenario and rules of the board game created by writer. Through physical game playing and questionaire to analyze if this board game is appropriate. Of course this game is also suitable for ordinary people in order to allow sight disabled people obtain the opportunity to interactive with other people. No matter sight disabled people play alone or play with other normal people, everyone could fit in easily. Hopefully there will be more similar games to be circulated in the market to facilitate sight disabled people social life.
