You are an escaped
slave. You have a bounty hunter trying
to find you.
Roll the dice with the bounty hunter; if you
get the same number, he will catch you and drag you back to the plantation
where you will be punished. If this
happens twice, the second time you will be executed. If you roll different numbers, pick up the
next card and continue.

You are a bounty
hunter. You are chasing an escaped
slave.
Roll the dice with the slave; if you get the
same number, you can catch her and drag her back to the plantation where she
will be punished. If this happens
twice, the second time she will be executed.
If you roll different numbers,
pick up the next card and continue.

You have two goals:
Your first goal is
to find out what happened to your four children who were sold from you about
10 years ago. You need to find them
before the bounty hunter does.
Your second goal is
to take notes for an autobiography you want to write to expose the injustice
and cruelty of the slave system. Start by describing your life as a house
slave. Post it.
Note: Be
aware that the bounty hunter might read what you write: it’s important to
tell the truth but you might want to change some details to throw him off. Also, you do not have time to write very
much, maximum 100 words per note.

You have two goals:
Your first goal is
to capture the slave, but ideally you also want to capture her children whom
you know were sold away at auction about 10 years ago. You need to find them before the slave
does.
Your second goal is
to keep notes of what you find out for the investors who are supporting
you.
Start by explaining the laws that allow you
to catch runaway slaves. Post it.
Note: Be aware that the slave might read what
you write: it’s important to tell the truth but you might want to change some
details to throw her off. Also, you
do not have time to write very much, maximum 100 words per note.

probably executed after participating in a rebellion.
Your youngest
daughter is probably alive and working for pay in the household of one of the
suffragettes.
You have lost two
