Wajíphanyin A Kanza Language Game (March 2009) After a year of professional game development, we are happy to announce the release of the original board game Wajíphanyin.

The game comes with play board, die, four pawns, instruction/reference sheet, score cards, a 10-card starter deck, and a 40-card deck of Personal Environment vocabulary. Additional play aids available for free download include three expansion decks, scoresheet replacements, and a 60-page exercise and glossary booklet. For more information see the WORKS page.

This project will run from October 2008 until September 2010, and will feature a Community Advisory Group made up of tribal members with an interest in the subject.
