Fair Playis a board game about the fair trade political movement. Naturally, the game is produced with only fair trade materials.

The game is a mix of cooperative and competitive, with a whole dose of education thrown in. From source:

By picking production line cards, the player’s role is to change this negative production line, characterised [sic] by black points, to a positive one characterised [sic] by green points. Green points are therefore brought about by positive conditions such as use of natural pesticides, organic bleach, woman’s rights cooperatives and fair prices.

When the green points finish, the player who manages to create the best production line (and has more green than black points) wins. The catch is that, if all the black points are handed out, the game ends there and everyone loses.

Created by Andrea Angiloino, in cooperation with various organizations promoting the issue.

You may be forgiven for thinking that this post is about electronic games; it’s not. It’s about Ouija games and similar inventions. They’re not really games, I suppose, but there you go.

You can find a whole lot about the subject, including various incarnations and different games at The Museum of Talking Boards. Check out the green glowing eye game ka-bala, and it’s cartoon advertisement.
