Homeward: Building Communities Through Play
"Homeward" is an immersive and thought-provoking board game that challenges players to confront America’s housing shortage while envisioning vibrant, sustainable communities. Competing teams, each with distinct goals and perspectives, navigate the complex landscape of housing production—balancing density, affordability, open space, and environmental impact to shape thriving neighborhoods. Through strategy, negotiation, and sometimes conflict, players face difficult trade-offs as they work to provide homes for their town. Will your team build a balanced, forward-looking community, or will competing priorities stall progress? Homeward invites players to experience the dynamic, interconnected world of housing and community building in a way that is both engaging and impactful.
