Disparity Trap: The Socially Conscious Board Game provides an easy way to have the
hard conversations around race & privilege in America and how they impact society in systemically dominant (SD) and systemically non-dominant (SND) ways. More about the game here:

The game play is like many of its kind, where your individual goal is to accrue as much wealth as possible. But where it differs is that you can have a team goal as well where you work with your fellow players to dismantle the Disparity Traps seeking to keep everyone in poverty. Within this game you also step into someone else’s shoes; to experience the disparities within an identity different from your own. Throughout the game, the dice roll
correlates your identity in the game to real life statistics.
Join us to try out this new board game. No previous experience necessary - just a willingness to try the game and give honest feedback.
