Cards Against Colonialism

"A Party Game For Indigenant Peoples"

We are stronger when we laugh. This game confronts difficult issues and helps raise discussions. Humor makes it easier to talk about difficult issues. CAC attempts to embrace the modern Native Culture, and allows us to learn and laugh at the same time.

The eldest player starts as the Emcee and draws a red card. He or she reads aloud the question or fill-in-the-blank phrase on the red card. Everyone, including the Emcee, holds ten white cards, and answers the question or fills in the blank(s) by passing one (or two) white cards face down, to the Emcee.

The Emcee shuffles all of the answers and shares each card combination with the group. After all the card combinations are read, every player votes on their favorite response by placing their token on that white card. The player who submitted the card with the most tokens wins that round and keeps the red card. After the round, everyone draws back up to ten white cards, and the duties of the Emcee pass to the person on the left. The player who is first to collect five red cards is declared the Token Indin'.
