About this game

The Accessible Solitaire game for Android is an exploration into building the most accessible solitaire game possible for Android phones. The game can always be made more accessible, so please provide feedback to help me learn how I should prioritise its accessibility improvements.

Details on how to play the game, and on its various accessibility-related features, can be found at the app's Read Me content at https://github.com/gbarkerz/AccessibleSolitaire.
