Want to learn more about the weird folklore of Massachusetts? Weirder After Dark is a really great podcast by three local New Englanders, Sean, Cathy, and Chris, who mix stories with a good bit of fun to tell these stories. They’ve even done an episode on the Great Molasses Flood! #podcast

Created by historian Paulie Wenger, @molassacregame.bsky.social is a historical card game that takes place during Boston’s infamous Molasses Flood of 1919. Designed for 2 to 5 players, outwit your opponents in this game of sweet, syrupy sabotage.

We are less than 1% of the way from our goal! We hope this family-friendly game will recognize this historic event in a way that encourages discovery and empathy as it covers a real event! #history #socialstudies #learning #historical #boston #bostonflood #kickstarter

Molassacre: Escape the Flood is the first card game based on the 1919 GREAT MOLASSES DISASTER, when over 2 million gallons of molasses exploded through streets at over 25 mph. Race your friends and dodge obstacles to be the first to escape the Molassacre! www.kickstarter.com/projects/mol...

I wanted to shoutout a band that really inspired me as we were making this game. The Darkest of the Hillside Thickets is a kickass rock band from Chilliwack, British Columbia. They, of course, also did a song about the Boston Molasses Flood so go check them out!

All aboard the campaign train. Molassacre is the first card game about the 1919 Boston Molasses Flood, which is perhaps the stickiest disaster in American history. Our Kickstarter launches on June 19 as we seek to revive interest in this forgotten historical moment. #gaming #boardgame #cardgame
