The Big Lockdown

The Big Lockdown is a tongue-in-cheek card game inspired by people’s experiences whilst in Lockdown during the global pandemic. The game is filled with references to life in lockdown including toilet paper hoarding, home schooling, and work meetings conducted from the toilet.

The aim is to build your stockpile of supplies whilst avoiding infection.

Deciding which of two decks to draw from lets you decide the risks you're going to take. Winning the game is the about balancing these dangers: do you stay at home, safely consuming supplies, or will you venture into the daunting outdoors to build your stockpile?

Players can collect cards that gain them supplies, allow them to loot other from other players and give them a chance to force other players into risky positions.

A fun and funny game for the whole family to enjoy.
