The People's Champion
A Card Game To Help Learn About Local Change
The political system is COM-PLI-CATED and yet it is connected so much to what is possible in the world around us. Working to break down barriers to our system we created a Trading Card Game where resources, leaders, and actions play into creating local change.
Additionally to learning about government our game engages the creative problem solving skills of those playing! With over 40 cards it will be up to you to decide what strategy will help you become “The People’s Champion”!​
The initial crowdfund of Summer 2024 did not reach the set goal. We did however learn a lot as we talked to people and play tested the game in larger numbers.
Here in 2025 we are setting our aim to raise $4000 to build a product ready to be played in classrooms, living rooms, and social space of many kinds!​
Project Background
​
Community Driven Group is a social impact organization with the goal of bringing people together around the brightest leaders, communities, ideas, and solutions for positive impact, growth, and experiences!
This card game was designed to create an effective tool for helping discuss and teach principles of policy design, politics, and local government structures. For example the 4 main resources you use in the game are creativity, capital, goodwill, and influence - all four are things that help move forward local change!
​
This game has a Colorado focus but the concepts can be applied to other States and Democracies. It is our goal to make this game helpful, stylish, and interesting way to learn about positive social impact, organizing, and how our system works. In the final production we plan to work with multiple artists to create the final art for cards and decks!
Not Just A Game Though
Developed with the launch of the game will be physical and digital booklets on different educational activities, game types, and discussion about the inspiration of the cards.
Helpful Across People And Ages!
For multiple levels of interest, play, and exploration. Wanting to learn and explore conversations of positive change and our system is a universally helpful skill!

2024 Crowdfund And Game Details
In 2024 we launched a crowdfund campaign to build the game. It was a lot of moving parts while prototyping the game, marketing the crowdfund, and reaching for a lofty goal. Life events also played into limited capacity. This year we began showing the game again have updated our plan based off what we learned from 2024.
