A Tiny Urban Game about inhabiting micro-spaces and moving little gray figures onto properties with lower and lower values. After you have cleared the field, use your body to protect your own kind from the endless stream of people. A game of power, sadness and fun – all of which lie close together at Nyugati, Budapest, where homeless people are moved from one place to another by security in an endless dance.

Materials

To prepare the playing field, use chalk (see below). The main equipment you need to play are small playing figures you use for board games like Mensch ärgere dich nicht. Use primary colors like green and red for the teams. Additionally you need gray figures that are hard to find - you'll probably have to paint some colored figures gray. Depending on the level design (see below), you need 10-20 of each color (including gray). For each team color, you also need one larger figure representing the King.

It is very helpful if players carry their figures in transparent plastic cups. Teams communicate amongst each other and with the referee through walkie-talkies. Set the walkie-talkies to a different channel for each team. Not every player in a team needs a walkie-talkie. Make sure that players with walkie-talkies are not also carrying the playing figures, so no one is left out.

The referee needs a timer, a walkie-talkie set to each of the teams channels and a clipboard for counting the points in the end.
