Introduction: Unveiling the Truth
In the tumultuous landscape of politics, where walls divide nations and narratives clash, a new card game emerges—one that transcends mere entertainment. “Build That Wall” isn’t your typical deck-building game; it’s a quest for truth, fueled by real-world facts and evidence. As players, you’ll navigate the treacherous waters of misinformation, seeking clarity and understanding.
Game Mechanics: Constructing Walls, Revealing Truths
1. The Deck:
- Our deck comprises 48 cards, each with a purpose. Among them:
- Migrant Cards (1–5 Points): These represent the human stories behind the headlines—the lives affected by policies and decisions.
- Wall Cards: These are the foundation of your game. They symbolize barriers, both physical and metaphorical.
2. Gameplay:
- Draw one card from the deck, revealing a piece of the puzzle.
- Play one card from your hand, strategically placing it in front of you.
- The played card is often a migrant card, representing a real-world event or issue.
- As you build walls, consider their value—each wall must be stronger than the one above it.
3. Truth Unveiled:
- Here’s the twist: Each card contains a snippet of truth sourced from reputable news outlets, fact-checkers, and videos.
- When you play a migrant card, flip it over to reveal the hidden truth. It could be an article excerpt, a video link, or a statistic.
- The game encourages critical thinking. Players must evaluate the evidence and decide whether to accept or challenge it.
