Designed for collaboration. Game rules and goals are not predefined, but left open to the player’s interpretation and needs.
is a playful, flexible and democratic board game where the goal is for everyone to win.
During the game, participants are asked to think about different aspects of the built environment, play, weather, nature, senses, participation and accessibility, etc.
The discussions and conversations that follow can then be materialized and woven into the place that is slowly built up on the playing field and which hopefully ends up being a good place for children, adults, animals, and nature.
