Free Village

A Jamaican Life after Emancipation

It is 1838. Slavery has ended. You are free.
Can you claim land, build a family, and leave a lasting mark in a Free Village?

Who Are You?

1838 – The Year of Freedom

You begin at age 18 near the new Free Villages of St Catherine & St Ann.

How to Play

• Read each year’s event.

• Choose carefully – every decision changes your Health, Wealth, Literacy, Land, Reputation and Faith.

• Advance one year at a time.

• Goal: Survive, buy land in a Free Village, raise a family, and leave a legacy.

• You can die of illness, accident, or old age. Bankruptcy and loss of land are also possible.

• There is no single “win”. Live the life you choose.
