We Can't Win!

In We Can't Win! players roll dice to race around the board, Monopoly-style, earning PIPS on their die each time they go all the way around.  Yes, this is a roll and move game, however, the odds of each player rolling a die that allows them to progress differs significantly and unfairly...the rules are not equal for each player.

 

Why?



The game We Can't Win! is 100% inspired by the Black Lives Matter movement and especially by the powerfully moving video of author Kimberly Jones explaining wealth and power disparity in the United States where she uses Monopoly as a metaphor this inequity.  Please watch:

In a similar context to the Privilege Walk game, We can't Win! was designed to be unfair in order to demonstrate how one rule, applied unequally, dramatically affects one player's progress in a game.  Moreover, the design intent was to not just have one rule differ but one specific phrase of that rule: "...or EQUAL to."
