Welcome to my non-digital games page...
This page contains games that I have made that are not in the digital realm. These games might be card and board games, or games that are outside and involve physical activity as well.
| On the back of my business cards are small games that use my extensive brooch collection. You need to go from the “start” to the “finish” by linking brooches that have something in common. If you're stuck, there are hints available to help you work out exactly what each brooch is and where you should go next.

Watch out, other people can destroy your Legacies!

| Pit yourself against your friends as you pretend to be kids arguing over the Meaning of Life. Attack other people's arguments, use Comebacks to turn the tables on your would-be attackers, gang up against others, backstab your friends, all in the quest to win the argument. The game was inspired by the Game Design Workshop at GDC 2010 and as part of the idea a week project, see idea 23.

| In this card game you are either a Cop or a Robber. Cops start with money and must protect it. Robbers start with no money and must try to steal it from the cops. Players are encouraged to work together since their final score depends on it. This simple game involves players launching offensives against their enemy in an attempt to get money or send robbers to jail. Cards have no words, so the game can easily be played internationally. The game was inspired as part of the idea a week project, see idea 20. You can now buy this game through the Game Crafter website. They will print the game and send it to you, see Cops vs Robbers on Game Crafter.

This is a version of a scavenger hunt that helps you get to know your own city by using a Monopoly board to determine where to go hunting for items next. This is a great social since it also helps you get to know your team members and your competitors. Teams go together to the same Monopoly places and then split up to search for items for a set period of time. At the end of the time, they meet back up and roll the dice to determine the next place to go searching. This game differs from a standard scavenger hunt because when everyone is walking to a destination they are all together and so it encourages talking between teams, meaning people aren't just stuck only talking to their teammates all day. Read more about the rules, including a sample item list...
