Objective:

To educate and engage players on various topics—such as Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR)—in a fun, team-based board game format. The ultimate goal is to move across the game board by correctly guessing the exact phrases or terms described from a deck of topic-based cards.

 

 

Game Components:

  1. Deck of Cards:
    • Cards are divided into different topics (e.g., Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights).
    • Each card contains a word or phrase related to the topic.
  2. Game Board:
    • A path or track where teams move their game pieces (dice-based progression).
  3. Dice:
    • Used to move the team’s token forward on the board when a correct guess is made.
  4. Timer:
    • 20 seconds per round for guessing.

Players: The game is played by two teams.

  • Each team must choose one Describer per round.
  • The rest of the team acts as Guessers.

Gameplay Rules:

  1. Start of the Turn:
    • Team A selects a Describer for the round.
    • The Describer draws a random card from the deck without showing it to the team.
    • The Describer reads the card silently and gives a verbal description to their team without saying the actual words on the card.
  2. Describing the Card:
    • The Describer can use explanations, associations, or clues.
    • However, they must not use any part of the actual word or phrase on the card.
    • Example: If the card says “Condom,” the Describer might say, “It’s a protective item used during sexual activity to prevent pregnancy and STIs.”
  3. Guessing:
    • The rest of the team has 20 seconds to guess the exact word or phrase written on the card.
    • If they guess it correctly, the team rolls the dice and moves forward the number of spaces shown.
  4. Wrong Guess:
    • If Team A fails to guess correctly within 20 seconds:
    • Team B now takes a turn. They pick a new Describer and repeat the same process.
  5. Alternating Turns:
    • Teams alternate turns with a new Describer chosen each round.
    • Each team continues attempting to guess the exact phrase or word described by their Describer in 20 seconds.

Winning the Game:

  • The first team to reach the end of the board (or the designated finish point) wins the game.
