Visual Accessibility for Older Eyes

I am enjoying the new client so far. Regarding the desktop version of the client, specifically Mac, the font size is challenging to read. Additionally, shiny card text is even harder to read due to the while text box not appearing when mousing over.

I am farsighted due to aging eyes, and am having a hard time with the text size as it is. Either a larger text size or accessibility zoom would be great to have. It's hard to read the main card text but almost impossible to see the smaller text like retreat cost.

    Accessibility is not on their dictionary, specially in desktop version.

    I agree, the tiny fonts used on my MacBook Pro 14 inch are too small to read. My vision is fully corrected and I still can't read about 50% of the text in game. This makes it unplayable.

    The text is just too small in some situations... how surgery would fix that?

    Increasing the cards and the text size is what should be done, specially in the desktop version there is a lot of unused space.

    Visual accessibility is crucial for older individuals, especially as they may experience age-related vision changes. Websites should incorporate larger fonts, high contrast, simple navigation, and clear icons to improve readability. In the case of Etihad Town Sialkot’s website, ensuring these features can help older users better interact with the information, including property listings, services, and community amenities. Accessible design promotes inclusivity and ease of use for all visitors, enhancing the user experience for those with visual impairments.

    I agree, Im on windows but play windowed and watch yt on the side, the text is tiny, and could be improved by just having a simple card zoom in when you hover over it, magic the gathering arena has this feature and it works well
