Welcome to my non-commerical 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. These games are all non-commercial, personal projects.
This page is an archive of historical projects I've worked on. For a list of other games I've been involved with, please see the full list on the about page, or a highlights list on the games page of my new website.
If you are looking for information about edible games, please go to the dedicated website: Edible Games.

Gather some friends with a set of Dixit cards and the caption cards. In each round, one player is the "storyteller". When it is your turn, choose either a picture card or a word card and the other players choose the opposite type of cards to give to you that they believe match to your card. You choose your favourite and contribute to the story using the newly formed picture-caption cards pair. As the game progresses you as a group develop the story further and let it go where you want it to. The game ends when someone says the magic words "The End". There is no winner, players simply enjoy creating a story together.

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...
