Bold Made
Bold Made is a new and improved twist on the classic card game Old Maid. Bold Made isn’t about getting stuck with a card. It’s about winning by collecting a team of bold women past and present. Each woman in the deck has made important contributions to her society and to the world at large. The game is fun, of course, but also a powerful way to help kids of both genders find fantastic female role models.  —description from the designer
