I made a board game based on the game Catan because it's a game I've been playing with my family and friends for a long time. I identify with it because it represents how my grandparents arrived and adapted to the new world of Mexico. My game is about building roads, houses and cities, and I called it "Romano".
The main symbol of the game is a Menorah, which represents our Jewish roots and the unity of our community. We also use the Hebrew alphabet on the tokens as in the Torah and Tefillin. I am grateful for the opportunity to know my roots. This game is an exciting and fun way to bring our history to life and share our culture with others. I invite you to roll the dice and delve into this adventure!
