'The Sky is the Limit' is a board game that's currently crowdfunding on Kickstarter, with a mission to teach kids in South Africa about gangs.
The board game is designed to have kids build a prosperous life for themselves by moving up the career ladder. Players have the chance to buy objects, study and collect job cards in different career paths in the art, political, beauty, engineering sector and more. As they progress throughout the game, players will be tempted by the offers of gang members. However, giving in to their special offers has severe consequences. Ultimately, in The Sky is the Limit, players must decide if they want to work hard to achieve their dreams or get rich quick at the expense of other players.
