DESCRIPTION

FAIR GAME is a fun card game created by a group of young people participating in the EU-Wise Young Citizens-Consumers project with the support of Equo Garantito.

The game allows for the involvement of a minimum of two to a maximum of 5 players (9 players in the case of combining two decks of cards), ages 6 and up.

Taking inspiration from a very popular game, in FAIR GAME players take turns drawing cards until someone draws an “explosion” card: environmental exploitation, child exploitation, green washing, and inequality cards in fact get you out of the game. You continue by taking turns drawing until only one player remains. Other cards (and card combinations) reduce your chances of being eliminated. ALTERNATIVE cards, or Fair Trade principles, save from elimination, but care is needed because danger is around the corner. In the face of poor wages, record deforestation, worker exploitation and inequity, it is up to all of us to try to win this game.
