Fam Foolery Launches Card Games That Entertain and Enlighten ‘The Culture’
Game night is a fun night that both families and couples can add to their activity list. However, over the years there hasn’t been too many games that have resonated with Black culture. But that is changing.
Fam Foolery, a newly launched business, recently released its card game called, “Trap Wars”. “Trap Wars” is card game similar to the popular game, Taboo, with the exception that the words and phrases used coincide with Black culture. For example, some themes but be centered around Juneteenth, Trap music, Black History, etc.
This is a game that is much needed in our community and so far the success of it has been great and proves that our people really do play and buy games. “Trap Wars” is perfect for date nights, double dates, girls/boys night in and of course, family functions.
I recently interviewed the founders of Fam Foolery, Rachel and Chris Gregoire. The duo discussed with me their inspiration behind the game, how they created and other projects that they are working on. Listen to the interview below.
