Seeking people interested in developing a non-visual version of billiards.

For inspiration review: https://britishblindsport.org.uk/snooker/

I have been hearing loss of vision is a growing problem. Interested problems solvers let me know.

Making pool a written board game is game not covered in the billiards rule book.
Or how about pool as a card game in both the traditional playing cards and newer customizable card games.

I think this can be ground breaking and a new direction that will serve a new population.

I would sink my life savings into this brilliant idea , except I blew it all 3 years ago, on tennis shoes for cats.
 
Interesting concept . I knew A guy that developed a Board Game for Construction Excavation Equipment Company and it took a long time to play and it simulated working in a Excavation Construction Company. So I am wondering what your thoughts are in the board game or the playing cards.

I like casino games and Magic the Gathering style games.

The fun part of the casino is measuring of the bet.
The fun part of the other card games is the use of language and structure of turns.

Basically its a dice game with billiard terms and cards drawn randomly from a pile.
Great for solo or group play.

The only way to monetize this is tie it to gaming / gambling on pool therefore electronic gaming pool game. Physical card games are dead. It would have to be electronic simulation of cards and dice . I have friends in this business in Chicago. Gaming Gambling business.

If I ever get that far I know which company to ask for. Thanks for the info.

Making the game playable against a voice AI, likely a 2 min game. Games for the blind is a direction I plan to go.

Day late on this idea, it is being done right now today by Glenn Hancock aka Resl King Conra.
 
Most blind guys I know prefer "pinning the tail on the hooker" game. Braille playing cards are expensive.
 
I never even thought about games for blind people, that sounds like a great idea. Everyone plays games on their phone because it's in theitr hands but if you can get people to a game table they will have fun. I'd like to hear more as your idea develops.

They never develop. Don't hold your breath.
