Detailed description

• Please copy/paste the error message you see on your screen, if applicable.
The game is not colourblind accessible. Could you add an option to modify the game tiles so that they either say Red/Blue/Green/Yellow on the side of the tile, or have the appropriate letter R/G/B/Y either in the top left corner or sharing the white number box with the number? You could have the millstone's letter be a closed circle or square or maybe an M so it is seen as distinct from the other four while not seeming like a 0.
I appreciate the tooltips exist, but this means anyone with colourblindness has to hold their cursor on all five tiles at the top, and then all tiles around where they can place their tile (and if a collapse happens, they have to survey all the ones in the row below, and the row below that, in order to minimise the collapse). This adds cognitive cost and time penalties to their gameplay.

And thank you for your feedback.
As it stands, colour blind persons can differentiate between the game colors by focussing on the shape of the white box around the number.
Blue = Hexagon
Green = Rectangle
Red = Circle
Yellow = Concave
Did you pick up on that? Does it work for you?
