Conversations about sexual and reproductive health are still weighed down by stigma, misinformation, shame, and silence. “بلا حيا – Say it Like It Is!” is an innovative educational tool that tackles these barriers by turning learning into a safe, interactive, and engaging experience. This tool is designed to dismantle stigma, spark honest conversations, and equip individuals with essential knowledge in a safe and nonjudgmental space through its inclusive and culturally sensitive approach.

More than a learning tool, “بلا حيا – Say it Like It Is!” offers a space for self-expression, peer connection, and community building. By normalizing conversations around sexuality, consent, boundaries, pleasure, and health, it promotes a culture of curiosity, empathy, and respect. It bridges the gap between knowledge and behavior, and offers an accessible and transformative way to engage with sexual and reproductive health and rights education for all.

Why play?

At Marsa, we believe that learning about sexual health should be open, inclusive, and fun. That’s why we created this game as an educational tool to raise awareness, break taboos, and make conversations about bodies, relationships, and consent more approachable. Whether you're playing with friends or partners, the goal is to spark honest dialogue, challenge myths, and encourage honesty because knowledge is power, and sexual health is for everyone.

Components:

A complete list of what is in the box:

• The main board

• 10 tokens

• 2 dices

• Deck of Trivia cards

• Pick an answer — and keep the card if you’re right!
  Test your knowledge on sexual health and collect as many correct answers as you can.

• Deck of Open question cards

• Draw a card and answer the question honestly.
  These questions are all about self-reflection, experiences, and opinions — there are no wrong answers, just real talk.

• You're on a date — let your acting skills shine!
  Practice expressing boundaries, asking questions, and navigating consent and communication in fun, realistic scenarios.

  These cards help you role-play situations where someone close to you might need support. Listen, empathize, and respond.

• Deck of MARSA - Joker cards

• You landed at Marsa — lucky you!
  This card lets you skip through a trivia question and still collect the card — no penalty. You’ve accessed support, just like at our center! Of course, you can still look up the correct answer to the question and share it with the other players.

• Booklet for correct answers and support.

How to Play:

Players take turns rolling the dice and moving along the game map. Wherever you land, draw a card that matches the color of the space you landed on — each color represents a different type of challenge or interaction. 

After completing the task on your card, you keep the card if you answered correctly for the trivia questions. For blue, purple, and pink cards, after the player answers or performs, the rest of the group will vote on whether the card is kept. Use a simple majority to decide. Base your vote on effort, honesty, creativity, or thoughtfulness!

Winning the Game:

The game ends when all the players reach the final spot on the map. The player with the most collected cards at the end wins!

Respect Is Key

If a player gives an answer or role-plays something harmful, offensive, or stigmatizing, the group may choose to freeze that player for one round — no dice roll or card that turn.
