The Jane Collective Board Game

This board game is a direct adaptation of the original mystery game Clue®. This version was inspired by both Annika Speer’s article, “The Feminist Potential of Docudrama: Destabilizing the Primacy of Primary Source Materials through Paula Kamen’s “Jane,’” and Kate Manning’s New York Times article, “The Amateur Abortionists.”

Objective: Design a board game as part of a translation project; translating academic text into an interactive game that could provide a deeper understanding and acknowledgment of the Jane Collective and be distributed to a range of people.
