#3 please, let the color blind play this game!
Hi,
I have downloaded and installed your game on my PC, but currently only my girlfriend is able to play it: I am somewhat color blind, and I find extremely difficult to scan the board for rectangles.
Why don't add an option for the players to customize the marbles color?
Please note tahat, as there are many different kinds of "color blindness", I think that the proposed solution it is better than provide some different but fixed color schemes.
Thank you very much for your work.

I would like to second this. Perhaps a color blind mode where symbols are overlaid over the coloured balls would be an appropriate solution. Star, diamond, etc...
The solution you propose sounds good, even if it would change the game a bit: from a "color pattern" hunt to a "symbol pattern" one.
But it probably is the only solution for the completely color-blind people, apart from using the following colors: white, black and two different greys.
I would think if the symbols were reasonably small, or perhaps a light watermark over the colours, it would be enough to enable quick recognition between whatever the problem colours are without being too obtrusive or changing the dynamics of the game too much.
