It is a fun and interesting way to get to know other local residents or discover things about people you already know! Open and accessible to all, come along on your own or with a friend.

People playing Home gamePippa says ‘The game, Home: the conversation, began life back in 2011 when I was far away from home and feeling very lonely.  In this game players speak to each other using other’s words: everyone gets a turn and everyone wins. It is loosely based on Dominoes, starting with just one word players take their turn to say more or less about what that word means to them. Gradually creating word trails on the cloth board as a souvenir of the conversation.  Part of the fun of the game is the negotiation amongst the players to find word trails that everyone can agree fit the way the conversation has developed.’
