JadedAid is a card game for world-weary development workers to be the cynicism they want to see in the world.
The idea is simple: take the everyday frustrations of working for the Development Industrial Complex (the DIC) and turn them into a prescription for fun! JadedAid contains 100 cards that can be played alone or used in combination with similarly formatted games such as Cards Against Humanity to make the fun last longer than Mugabe’s rule.
The “Donor” player will read out a red Indicator Card posing a question and “Implementer” players will submit their white Outcomes Cards with potential answers.
The Donor picks the winner they like the best, damn the evidence (or lack thereof). The winner then becomes the Donor for the next round. You win by amassing useless Indicator Cards, just like in real life!
