The game requires a group of at least 16 people who are divided into two cultural groups. After learning to perform their respective cultures, the groups exchange visitors and try to interpret each others' cultural practices. Requires about 75 minutes and two trainers. The game can be purchased from Simulation Training Systems (www.simulationtrainingsystems.com) for $249, an exhorbitant price given the materials that are required to play the game.

I would very strongly recommend this video, which details the culture of the Gullah people of the Sea Islands of South Carolina and Georgia and of their forebearers and kin in Sierre Leone. It is about 50 some minutes and well done, with narrators from both the US and Sierre Leone. In my class in cultural psychology I am paying attention to continuing and changing culture/cultural patterns and the experience of Africans being brought to the new world contrasted with present day Africans is but one example.
