With guns being the
leading cause of death for American children,
it’s not unreasonable to ask, “what do you want
to be IF you grow up?” A new spin on a classic, my
board game allows players to experience life in gunobsessed America. From a
teacher shot by her 6 year old student to a 5 month
old shot by a 3 year old, each of the scenarios in
this game are based on real life experiences.
While the board is full of colorful tiles, the black
background reflects the
dark reality of this uniquely
American problem beneath the surface.
