I had a chance to talk with Giles Pritchard and Donald Dennis of the Games in School and Libraries Podcast a bit about my work and the value of games in education. Episode number 19.

I have new art to share from my upcoming game, Freedom: The Underground Railroad. I just got back the rest of the player boards which players keep infront of them during play. They represent different roles that the players may take on during their struggle to bring down the institution of slavery. I love the strength and period feel of the characters.

The Stockholder is a powerful fundraiser for the Abolitionist Cause

The Station Master helps slaves on the run evade catchers in pursuit.

The Shepard helps to coordinate and plan the movement of slaves making their way north towards freedom.

The Agent also helps bring about change through political action and influence.
