House & Home
A downloadable game
Oh, this home of ours.
Do you remember when it was new? When the rooms still smelled like wet paint, and the tree in the back was smaller than you? My God, there are still marks on the doorframe showing every inch you grew.
This was a good home, wasn’t it? We tried to make it safe. We tried to make it yours. Will you miss it?
Please, always remember, you are where my heart is.
House & Home is an asymmetric, gm-less blueprint drawing game for four or more players. It is intended to run about 1.5 hours, and it deals thematically with the creation, maintenance, and rebuilding of familial relationships.
It is a game in which a family draw the plans for their new house, and begin to make it a home. It uses the idea of a place to explore the hearts of the people who live there.

Just finished reading this and I've got to say I wasn't expecting such a heavy-hearted game. It's beautiful! I've got literal chills reading it :)
Can't wait to actually try it out!

House and Home is a beautifully heartfelt game that explores relationships between people through the space around them. The game has a feeling of time and space that is rarely felt in shortplay games.
At the end, it feels, really, like you've made something. Like you've built a home. It's wonderful, and I'm proud to be a part of it.
