Landing page captured for the 2026-09-12 issue.

Field notes

Touch The Point uses textured, tactile game components and facilitator-supported rules to make cooperation itself the activity. The project began with prototype materials from shops and hardware stores, then moved through 3D-printed iterations and testing at a school for blind students. The current board remains a limited prototype combining 3D-printed parts with a commercial whiteboard, while Buranko states that it is pursuing a mass-produced version.
