First, does anyone know where I can get Scrabble, &/or other board games with Braille on them? I had a Scrabble game once, but it received way to much play. Lol.
Secondly, has anyone found a way of playing Marbles where you can identify the colors, so you know which marbles are yours & which ones belong to the other players?
Third, does anyone know of any Brailled cross word puzzles?
Thanks for any help!

I'm not sure about the marbles.
Ok, thank you!
By the way, don't order from Maxiaids. Read Danielle's post about that

Ok.
Where is the post on Maxi Aids?
Look on the Rant board.
Alrighty, thanks!
I don't know about marbles. In fact, I didn't know they were different colors at all! Hahahahahahaha! In the UK, you can order a braille scrabble game from RNIB and I think you might be able to get a crossword game but can't remember. I know for definite though that you can buy braille crossword books here, but just not the boards.
Darn it!! That doesn't help since I live in America! (cry) Lol.
Yeah, there's yellow, blue, red & green ones. At least that's what we have in our marble game box.
I've never even played marbles. LOL
Wow!! (shocked) I love Marbles!
I'm not sure on the marbles, but you can try the places others already suggested for board games. For the crossword puzzles though, if you receive books from NLS, you can ask to start getting Connundrum a. Connundrum is a British-based puzzle book, and it has crossword puzzles, word searches, and other kinds of puzzles and word games to do. I like reading it and working on figuring out the puzzles in my head. But to do the puzzles in some kind of written form, you can't do it on the book so will either need paper, or I've been thinking (if possible) to get a sheet of metal and make up some small Braille magnet squares. I think that'd be more fun for me to work with than writing it out on paper.
I just ordered Conundrum like, a week ago! Yeah, try independentliving.com for your Scrabble game. I think they have another word game too, but I can't remember the name of it.
Thanks to both of you for replying, I really appreciate it!
Lots of good advice, I'm def bookmarking this in my favorites!
oh wow, I never played marbles before either, lol. But wow, so this connundrum book thing, is it like a monthly thing that the nls sends out or something? can you keep it or what. I relaly need to look in to that, cuz i love crossword puzzles and word searches too.
Wow! I'm honestly surprised. I really love playing Marbles! I think everyone should be exposed to it, so they can decide whether they like it or not.
