The estate game aims to draw attention to the issue of intensifying housing development and shaping the space of estates. For this purpose, a theoretical approach is used, which draws from teaching and popularization activities.
The game is universal for various age groups and can be used for a classic card game. It has 2 decks, i.e. 2D and 3D – this makes it easier to imagine what individual buildings look like. The cards refer to 3D models that can be used to create virtual settlements. Just like in computer games, there are rules and different levels of advancement. The 3D deck offers beginners a game for points, the number of which depends on the value of urban indicators. The 2D deck allows you to create estate plans and can be used for board-like games; you don’t need a board, you don’t need any specialized rules. The 3D deck can be useful for advanced players. 3D models prepared by the authors can be downloaded and based on them it is possible to create 3D housing estates, just like when playing with blocks.
All elements of the estate game designed by the authors are intended to show the role and importance of urban indicators and parameters that determine the character of the development.
Cards 2 to 10 present housing development patterns in an increasing manner – the higher the card value, the higher the development intensity (number of apartments per hectare). The lowest values were reproduced in the form of single-family, multi-family buildings of low and medium intensity.
Course of the workshop:
- introduction by the instructor Urban indicators and parameters in shaping residential development. 10 min
2.Introduction to the OSIEDLE GAME and card taxonomy 10 min
Card demonstration, card presentation in augmented reality
- division into groups (2 or 3 or 4 groups) approx. 5 min.
- ESTATE GAME at a beginner’s level – pointer war, solitaire – the games are aimed at familiarizing you with the possibilities of the cards and assessing their applications – 20 min to 30 min
- ESTATE GAMES at an intermediate level – the games are aimed at understanding the role of indicators and conscious shaping of the estate’s space with the implementation of the task of CREATION, e.g.
Optional (if time remains and participants accept)
- ESTATE GAME, intermediate and advanced level – using cards and boards (game time: min. 50 minutes) – players use special boards and invest in order to develop plots more effectively.

How to plan a modern city well? “There must be awareness and dialogue” Arkadiusz Biernat
(…) The young people playing the “Estate Game” found out how challenging it is to develop urban space. – Without a substantive discussion and understanding of mutual interests, it is impossible to create a modern city,” concluded the Cities of Ideas debate in Jaworzno. (…) Experiences, opportunities but also threats were discussed on 21 February during the Cities of Ideas in Jaworzno Business Laboratory. There were also workshops. By playing a game, young people were able to see how challenging the space planning process is when you have to weigh the interests of the resident, the developer or the environmentalist (…)
Thank you very much to a very nice fruitful workshop meeting….
WE play in the IDEA of the City in Jaworzno
We will be discussing the creation of the modern city on 21 February at the Jaworzno Business Laboratory as part of the regular City of Ideas event.
We will begin with a workshop with young people entitled ‘The Settlement Game’, which will allow them to understand the basic issues related to spatial management, planning and development of the city and, above all, its development. Residents will be able to play the role of a developer, mayor, planner or community activist. These perspectives will provide an understanding of how complex the game of city development is and give answers to the question of what needs to be done to ensure there are no losers. After the workshop with residents, we will start a panel discussion at 12.45 pm. Our guests will be: Łukasz Kolarczyk – deputy mayor of Jaworzno, Tomasz Bradecki, Ph.D. inż. arch. prof. of the Silesian University of Technology – Department of Urbanism and Spatial Planning; Marta Sanigórska, inż. arch – second-year student of architecture at the Silesian University of Technology in Gliwice; Daria Bal, inż. arch – third-year second-year student of the Faculty of Architecture at the Silesian University of Technology.

HOUSING ESTATE GAME ON CLASSES AT GDAŃSK UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY
In December, tests of the housing estate game were held during teaching classes at the Faculty of Architecture at Gdansk University of Technology.
The game was played by second degree English-speaking students under the direction of Dr. inż. arch. Michal Leszczynski (Group 5 architects) and Dr. inż. arch. Justyna Martyniuk-Pęczek prof. PG. Several different games were tested.
Thank you very much for your involvement and we are happy to look forward to ‘indicator players’.
