BARABAR is our solution to the boring or incomprehensible lessons at school. It makes it easier for teachers and youth workers to reach children and youth on difficult topics concerning the values and attitudes of a democratic society. Additionally, it improves family time as it provides an opportunity to do something meaningful and fun together while also educating both youngsters and adults.
BARABAR is a card game that combines cooperative and competitive elements while telling stories. The game contains 15 challenges, 5 clans with 15 characters each and 14 X-Factor cards that add extra suspense to the fight against the end of the world. The players learn details about the achievements and causes of the members from the 5 clans and seek synergy among themselves to solve significant problems of our time by building a story together. BARABAR teaches tolerance and promotes awareness of serious ethical dilemmas, including censorship and restriction of freedom of expression, genocide, global drought and famine, the place and role of women in science, sustainable development and environmental protection.
BARABAR is played by a minimum of 2 people up to a group of 6-8 players. It successfully complements the learning process in disciplines such as Nature Sciences, History, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Ecology, Philosophy, Foreign Languages, Civic Education for students aged 10+.
