Giiwen (“go home”) is a family-friendly board game inspired by the seasonal movements of the Anishinaabe. Make cultural connections while moving your family members from your wiigiwaam (home) to your waaginogaan (teaching lodge), following the path and letting the cards guide your journey.
Play with up to 6 players in English or Ojibwe. Bilingual cards and language support resources make it easy for learners to build confidence and play in immersion at their own pace.
With simple, chance-based gameplay and optional variations for more strategic play, Giiwen offers a fun and meaningful way to learn, laugh, and play together.
