You've heard of Cards Against Humanity - get ready to play Cards For Decolonization (formerly known as Cards Against Colonialism). It's the same biting, raunchy, cringe-inducing game, but with an Indigenous flair!
Cards! is a game show/panel hosted by DAKOTA RAY HEBERT. The game spotlights two Indigenous players and one token non-Indigenous player, and is played in front of a LIVE AUDIENCE (that's you!). Many humorous discussions and stories are shared throughout the game, inspired by the cards played, with the underlying intention of breaking down harmful stereotypes through comedic education. It's edutainment, baby!
Please note this is a LIVE RECORDING of TWO GAMES/EPISODES. Latecomers will have to wait until intermission to take their seats, so please arrive early. Be prepared to listen, laugh, and learn! (And also to cringe; there will likely be many, many, many cringey moments.)

PLEASE NOTE: The idea of this game show is to open up dialogues that aim to break down harmful stereotypes that plague the Indigenous population. The host will keep things light and energetic and moving along, but there may be heavy stories shared. The game is to be played with an open mind, an open heart, and an open understanding that every single person is A Little Bit Ignorant. The good thing about ignorance is that it's cured with education, and baby, we're all gonna leave the game having learned a little somethin'!
