The Home Game
The Home Game is a game for 2 to 6 players, age 12+, with an optional role-playing element. Each player starts at home, is born in a different position in life, has certain life-long qualities, and is faced with certain events and choices.
The aim is to go home, and the game ends when one or more players have completed the journey and acquired the requisite number of tokens.
The relationship of the players develops during the game, with discussions that will deepen their understanding of home, and with possibilities for co-operation. The Home Game is a game to help you discover what it means to be at home.
There are two journeys:
- Through age: by moving through the quadrants of the board representing childhood, youth, prime and vintage, each with a gateway into the next.
- Towards home: by accumulating tokens of particular colours, representing the different strands of home: shelter, family, community, environment and inner peace.
The game is in development, and it is hoped that it will be available commercially before the end of 2010. It has been agreed that a major national charity will receive most of the royalties.
