As you can see, I’m having fun creating more file folder games for Munchkin. Since we’re studying the Underground Railroad and Slavery, I made game cards to go with that theme for this game board. This could easily be used with many other trivia type cards. I plan on making more trivia card sets for it later. You can download a pdf copy of this game here. The Batter Up! Slavery edition cards can be found here. You can find additional game cards for the State edition here.
