Accessibility

Last updated 15 October 2026

I want everyone to be able to play Draft Party. I'm working towards the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at level AA. Draft Party hasn't had a formal audit yet, so this page says plainly what works and what doesn't.

What works today

• The game is built from real buttons and links, so it works with touch, mouse or keyboard, and most controls have text a screen reader can read.
• Reduce effects in Settings turns off flashing, shaking and moving effects and the flying mascot. The game also follows your device's reduced-motion setting.
• Sound is optional and off-able in Settings; nothing in the game depends on hearing it.
• The layout adapts from small phones to large screens, and you can zoom the page.
• Character cards always show the character's name and anime as text, not only as a picture.

Known limits

• A few icon-only buttons (for example in game setup) are missing a text label for screen readers. I'm adding them.
• Colour contrast and screen-reader flow haven't been fully checked against WCAG yet.
• Online turns have timers. If a timer is too short for you, play in one-phone mode, which has no timers.
• Some card animations and the holographic card effect are decorative and are skipped by screen readers.
• Character pictures come from AniList and don't have detailed descriptions beyond the character's name.

Tell me about a problem

If something is hard or impossible to use, email play@draftparty.me with what you were trying to do and the device and browser you used. I reply within 5 working days and fix accessibility problems first.
