Counter-Canon

CounterCanon: Anthropology Edition is an educational card game created for students by students to learn about contemporary anthropological theory. The deck focuses on BIPOC and women/femme theorists and their contributions to the field allowing students to expand their knowledge of theory and construct a counter-canon of radical ideas!

✽ 5-6 players (play individually or In pairs)
