Short description
This game consists of a lot of cards with faces. Place 12 of these cards within a square.
One player witnessed a crime and knows who did it. The other players must find out who the perpetrator is by yes/no-questions. The questions are about characteristics and are therefore subjective.
Educational Value
this game is about being part of society as an individual. That there are prejudices and that you have them, but that people also have them about you.
In this game, you look critically at your own bias and also examine the prejudices people have about you.
