Hand in Hand Your Love Your Life Kickstarter Campaign
A family friendly card game that encourages love and compassion while promoting care for abandoned and disabled children
June 24, in the year of our Lord 2013 -- Family
Friendly Gaming covers very few Kickstarter campaigns. So when
they do you can rest assured they are worth your time.
Why you should back this project
In China, children with disabilities are often abandoned due to
high costs, low education and social prejudice. With this card
game, players have the opportunity to rescue these children and
give them a home for life.
What is Hand in Hand?
Hand in Hand is a deck of 60 cards, each with two different
brightly coloured halves that depict one half of a child that
needs your help to be made whole. Similar to a deck of playing
cards, there’s no limit to how many ways you can play with these
cards. We have however, created rules for a game that has been
successfully playtested with over a dozen different groups of
players ranging from 6-40 years old.
All playtest groups reported a high level of enjoyment while
also demonstrating that the rules are easy to learn.
The basic game is suitable for 2-6 players aged 6+ and can be
played in 15-20 minutes. By matching colours, players create a
chain of children holding hands that can be “taken home” to
score points. This is a great family game that offers positive,
encouraging turns leaving everyone feeling like they’ve
contributed to something good.
The game will come with several ways to play with the same deck
of cards to allow for varying levels of complexity, strategy,
competition and replayability. Every backer will gain access to
a website that contains rules for these other games that can be
played with this deck of cards, and offer backers a chance to
submit their own.
Once manufactured, this game will be used to promote
International China Concern – a charitable organization
dedicated to providing full lives for the abandoned and disabled
children in China. Outside of Kickstarter, the only way to get a
copy of this game will be to become a child sponsor with
International China Concern.
