Building a successful social movement doesn't just take passion and pakistan girls leak sex videosdedication. It requires strategy and organizing to turn a group of committed people into an unstoppable force for change.
A new board game, called Rise Up: The Game of People and Power, hopes to help activists learn the skills they need to challenge inequality and injustice.

"Rise Up explores social movements and what it takes to build people power -- even when the cards are stacked against us."
"Rise Upis a fun, engaging game that explores social movements and what it takes to build people power -- even when the cards are stacked against us," the creators say on the game's Kickstarter page.
The game, which two to five people can play in about an hour, encourages players to take "creative actions to fight for victory." They can craft the game around their real-life activist efforts or fictional fights, like standing up for "dragon rights."
In true activist fashion, all players are on the same team, meaning everyone wins or loses together.
The creators say Rise Upisn't just fun -- it can also facilitate education and movement organizing in the real world. To help with that, the board game features a digital education kit with activities, discussion guides and worksheets.

Players ultimately win the game by keeping up the momentum behind their movement and gaining supporters. They also have to complete challenges, like creating protest songs, organizing marches and setting up grassroots awareness campaigns.

Each blow from the System makes the movement lose supporters and overall momentum. If players run out of supporters, or if the System gains too many victories, they lose.

The company is also behind Co-opoly: The Game of Cooperatives, which teaches players how to build a democratic business or organization.
Though Rise Up's Kickstarter has ended, those interested can still preorder the game through Toolbox for Education and Social Action prior to its April 2017 launch.
