Short description

In this game teams travel around the board and talk about diversity and inclusion. During the game there will be assignments that every team will do and that take a longer time.

Walk your pawn across the field and take the card corresponding to the symbol your pawn ends on. The cards are about: courage, power, distinction, trust and truth.

In the four corners of the game there are ‘break cards’ that contain some larger assignments that a team gets longer for and may have to sit in a separate room for. You can decide whether or not to add these assignments to the game.

Educational Value
