Trading Races

EditDelete

The rules are simple. The discussions won't be. Just remember, it's just a party game. #tradingraces

Can you out-black your opponent?

Really Tho?

Yes, absolutely. We all have a construct of how we define blackness. So why not have a conversation about it? People from all races, cultures, and gender have much to offer this conversation. Let's talk about the constructs in a humorous and fun way and redefine them.

Basic Rules

To start the game, each player draws 5 cards. One randomly chosen player begins and plays a card. Everyone else selects a card from their hand that reflects a higher level of blackness and places their card down.

Each player then defends their card selection in relationship to the other players card. As a group, players must come to a consensus on which card is blacker.

Whoever played the winning card keeps the hand and wins the book. The winning player starts the next hand and everyone draws back up to 5 cards.

Wild Card

Got a wild card? Well lucky you. This card holds great power. Use this card in a clutch. When this card is thrown, the player can choose ANY person they’d like to represent the card. Good luck!

Switch it up

Play in teams! Divide players up in teams of two or more. Same rules apply.

The rules are very simple. The discussions won’t be.

Defend your stance to the fullest and may the odds be forever in your favor. If played right, this is an extremely fun and entertaining game about the malleability of race. This game can really make people feel awkward, so you just have to remember... it's just a game and to have fun with this shit.

Thanks for taking one for the team!

WHY I NEED YOUR MONEY

Over the past two years this idea has been a secret brain child of mine. I’ve tested a prototype of the game and hosted private game nights to get this just right.But now I need your help.

Why? Because I know this game is pretty amazing and entertaining but I can't grow this to its full potential alone. I've found the most amazing illustrator, Stephanie Rapisardo, to hand draw every single card. Amazing, I know right? These will be beautifully illustrated artistic renditions (Check out her work below).

In addition, I'll finish developing the packaging, execute the marketing plan, and oh yeah...get this into production!

REWARDS

You'll find all the awesome rewards on the top to your right!

I wanted to put this project on Kickstarter because it's the fastest way for us to get the game into your hands.

Thank you for your support!
