LET’S GO aims for a world of inclusion and dedicated to this purpose develops TriGo.
TriGo is a highly inclusive board game that goes beyond entertainment, aiming to promote inclusivity and bring joy to players of all abilities.
It is aimed at people with visual disabilities, with instructions in Braille.
The name has a double meaning. Not only does it pay homage to the classic game of Tic-Tac-toe, but it incorporates the word “go,” urging people to break down barriers and become inclusive.
The game is for 2 players who play alternately. Players can distinguish bricks by touch, aided by touch markers. Bilingual instructions further ease understanding, making the game accessible to a diverse player base.
Whether played in educational institutions, community centers or at home, TriGο acts as a catalyst for inclusive play sessions, strengthening social relationships and breaking down barriers to inclusion.
