Swahili language game

There is a Kiswahili version of the game that can be played in any city, not just Nairobi. All you need is to download and print the booklet below, alongside a regular deck of cards.

This storytelling, mapmaking game does not have to be done on paper. Any space that allows collective worldbuilding will work. We have been inspired by an exhibition of Emily Kam Kingwarray that featured photographs of sand theatre, where the ground, leaves, sticks, etc. are used for worldbuilding and storytelling:
