Agricultural board game launches with Nedbank sponsorship
NEWS IN SHORT
An exciting new agriculturally themed board game, developed in Namibia, has been launched with the support of Nedbank Namibia. Designed to educate and entertain, this unique game – Farmwise – fosters understanding of the challenges and rewards of farming while promoting collaboration between farmers, labourers and their families.
The idea for the game was born in an unexpected moment of frustration suffered by game developer Piet Gouws. After he had found himself stranded with a flat tyre and no car jack, he used the time spent on waiting for help by brainstorming on how to educate farm labourers in a way that was engaging and impactful.
Initially created for farmers and their employees, the game has evolved into a versatile tool for a broader audience.
"This is more than a game," he says. "It’s a locally produced product that celebrates Namibia while contributing to the future of its farming community".
