Livelihoods of Farmers x Board Game Experience
A group of small-scale farmers once lived in harmony, growing crops and raising livestock on modest plots of land. They were self-sufficient and led stable lives. But as global demand for food surged, natural disasters intensified, and powerful corporations and governments increasingly exploited these farmers, throwing them into crisis.
In the board game ‘Captain Farmer’, participants step into the shoes of these small farmers, collaborating to complete mission objectives. Throughout the game, players face the same challenges and crises that real farmers encounter, building understanding and empathy through gameplay.
