Cally Trench's board games

Board Game (2006), an original board game by Cally Trench, is a game for two to four players, in which members of your family walk through the woods trying to avoid falling into toxic ponds and being attacked by their neighbours. It exists as a 'standard' and a 'travelling' set. It is a reflection on how easily neighbours can turn on each other when incited to do so.
