Twittens

About this board game

Twittens is a tile-laying game for 1-5 players, with sessions lasting around 45 minutes. Set in an everyday English suburb, it invites you to explore the small lanes and alleyways that thread between houses and fields.

“Twitten” is an old Sussex word for these narrow routes, which are also known elsewhere as ginnels, snicks, and vennels. In the game, these paths wind through familiar suburban surroundings, bordered by red bricks, garden fencing, and rusted chicken wire.

Work your way through the seasons as you discover the varied features hidden along your local twittens. The neighbourhood is filled with everyday places and unexpected details, giving each stretch of your wandering a distinct sense of place.

• Explore a suburban network of twittens and lanes.
• Lay tiles as you travel through the seasons.
• Discover houses, wildlife, allotments, and playgrounds.
• Encounter railways and electrical substations along the way.

Twittens turns an ordinary English suburb into a setting for a gentle journey of discovery. Its focus on local paths and overlooked surroundings brings the character of neighbourhood exploration to the tabletop.

Complete your wanderings and remember to get home in time for tea. Whether played alone or with up to four other people, Twittens offers a distinctive tile-laying experience inspired by the lanes woven through towns and suburbs.
