BORDER RIDING

Border Riding is a game about maps, boundaries, borders, and the way we use rituals to maintain and shape our community.

At a glance:

• GM-less map drawing game.
• 3 to 6 players (solo and duo modes also included.)
• Played over rounds, with each player taking the lead.
• Invent a community, and watch it face challenges over the passing years.
• Create a series of maps that stack atop one another. Hold them up to a window at the end of play to see redrawn lines shine through onto the present.
• Requires 2D6, pens, 10 to 20 sheets of paper, 1 to 2 hours to play.

Its touchstones include Avery Alder’s The Quiet Year, Everest Pipkin’s zine-game The Ground Itself and Iman Tajik’s project Bordered Miles.
