“BLACKBOARD” Board Game by Little Africa:
This educational Black history game brings friends and families together for a time of fun and learning. Players begin with a chain that has 7 removable links; the game is played by rolling the dice and moving the game piece (an Amistad slave ship) around the board, after which a player must answer the category question for each space. For every correct answer, a chain link is removed, and vice versa. The first player to run out of links, wins the game.
“BLACKBOARD” takes you through the high-roads and perils of the past/present experience of a Black American,” the game’s description reads. “You might ESCAPE from slavery and be CAPTURED, or you could make it to the UNDERGROUND RAILROAD and on to FREEDOM. But, Beware! REAGANOMICS will send you back, and there’s always a TOM waiting to betray you. But don’t worry! There’s a good chance you’ll find a REAL BROTHER or REAL SISTER to lend a helping hand.”
