Take Away

Living standards in urbanised cities, such as Singapore, are prone to be quick-paced and transitory. Thus, lesser opportunities present itself to foster intimacy in family and friends settings. Take Away is a board game that aims to reconnect already existing relations, or create new ones, through reflective, purpose driven cards centred around food. Often, food itself can forge bridges between different individuals, particularly through a conversation over a meal. The game implements food-themed conversation starters, allowing players to deepen their understanding of one another through motions of the game. Take Away hopes to take fostering intimacy a step further, by pre-empting cooking as an activity using the game’s end product – customised recipes made unique by the game’s players.
