Fabulous Freemen

Travel the US and help heroes of History! Fabulous Freemen is a fun Black History board game!

Fabulous Freemen is a family weight coop game where players travel the US to help heroes of the age.

Choose your time period, from the late 1800s, 19-oughts, 1920s or 1930s. Choose 3 heroes of that era, and those will be the cities players will work together to reach.

Players then play cards to get the assistance from the community, find safe places to stay and solve problems from city to city until the reach each Hero. But beware, if you fail to solve problems, you'll lose hope! Loose too much hope, and the game is over. The players settle down, and give up on their dreams to make a difference!

Fabulous Freemen is much more Indiana Jones than Roots. There's a lot of context from the time, but no implicit racism or slavery. It's a light, fun game that allows players to lean into or away from the heavy stuff as appropriate for the players at the table.
