Politicise - A Game to Navigate Politics

Politicise is a board game designed in collaboration with Small Axe. The aim is to create discussions about voting and personal political beliefs. It features straightforward gameplay mechanics and thought-provoking question cards that encourage dialogue on community, morality, and values.

In just 24 months, we've seen two unelected Prime Ministers and one party dominating for 14 years. As elections approach, it's imperative to register and vote, especially with 8 million missing from the UK electoral roll, predominantly young and renters, endangering democracy's essence.

This campaign reimagines politics as a community, where gatherings are more than just physical spaces. It tackles discomfort discussing voting among friends by creating a safe space for open discussions, aiming to foster connections and self-understanding. Through an interactive activity/game, it encourages deep reflection to promote a positive view of voting and increase voter registration.

The board game experience is designed for portability and focus. Featuring a black color scheme to emphasise the cards, ensuring a clear focal point for gameplay discussions. Consistent use of font enhances cohesion, while the long rectangle format optimises practicality, perfectly matching the cards ratio.
