2022 Holiday Gift Guide: For Your (Inner) Child – Georgia Voice – Gay & LGBT Atlanta News – Georgia Voice
A. Rainbow Quest!
There is no game quite like rainbow quest. This LGBTQ board game is designed to engage, educate, empower, and affirm the LGBTQ community. This isn’t just an LGBTQ trivia game; as players travel the board, they will draw cards with different tasks: draw a picture, communicate through charades, disclose something about yourself to other players, or have other plays predict how you’d respond to a hypothetical. Whether you’re a child or an adult, after playing you’ll know more about LGBTQ history, the other players, and maybe even yourself. $65, Rainbow Quest; rainbowquest.org.
