BARNGA

A game about cultural assumptions

Player guide

Objective: Experience how people interpret the same situation through different hidden rules and cultural assumptions.

Setup: Join the room with the code from your facilitator and learn the rules shown for your table.

How to play: Players learn local card rules, then play silently as people move between tables with slightly different rules.

Your role: Follow the rules you know, stay silent during play, and notice how assumptions change when tables mix.

End condition: Scores matter less than the debrief. Focus on assumptions, attribution, frustration, adaptation, and culture clash.
