Sorry I have not been posting the last few months. Things have been crazy busy with some big events in my life.

And I am here to say…well, I finally did it. I finished the Mission Kijani™ board game I envisioned in, can you believe it, the shower two years ago. And, it was a huge hit with folks at the Chicago Toy and Game Fair event this November.

The board game is called Mission Kijani™.  Green is not just a color; it is a way of life in the town of Kijani (Key-jah-knee). After all, the town’s name means “green” in Swahili. Two of the town’s residents, Zawa (Zah-wah) and Mikko (Me-ko), have rescued a rare rainforest tree from an area just southwest of the town that is being cleared unnecessarily. It is up to you to escort them through troubled lands and back to Kijani so we can save this tree species from extinction. After all, each contribution, proactive choice, and positive action makes a world of difference!

Part of advancing in the game involves answering ecologically based questions. There are three ways to play (Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle). Each provides a different level of game play and time commitment. The most popular is the Reduce version which takes under 45 minutes to complete.

Copies are available at missionkijani.com at a reduced cost. I know kids of all ages will benefit from this awesome game. This game has been especially popular with the teaching and homeschooling folks that have a passion for the planet! The entire operating costs for Planet U™ are carbon neutral. And, I am now in the process of officially certifying the Mission Kijani board game as CarbonFree®. Thanks to my new partnership with CarbonFund.org.

Thank you to all. The positive feedback has been wonderful!!! Please pass the word along about the game.
