Brain Architecture Game (Second Edition)

Players collaborate to build a tabletop model that demonstrates how early experiences affect children’s brain development. In a lively session of 75-90 minutes, players build structures that are both tall (functional) and sturdy (stress-resistant), and leave with a new perspective on how society shapes the early years.

From 10 to 25

In this collaborative storytelling game, players take on the role of a young person making their way through adolescence. Players start with the experiences life has dealt them, draw the relationships and resources available in their community, and craft a story about growing up.
