This is a game about boundaries, how we mark them and who we include or exclude from them. While inspired by the Common Ridings festivals in the Scottish Borders, this game can be about any community, and take place at any time, in any setting.

Border Riding explores how arbitrary borders can create real long-lasting divisions between communities, and how petty village rivalries can turn into full blown conflicts. By following these communities and their border rituals over time, you will also explore how, in seeking safety from perceived threats, communities can vilify and warmly welcome those that fall outside of a drawn border.

At a glance:

  • Collaborative map drawing game. 
  • 3 to 6 players (solo and duo modes also included.)
  • Played over rounds, with each player taking turns to lead each round. 
  • Invent a community, and watch it face challenges over the passing years. 
  • Create a series of maps that stack atop one another. Hold them up to a window at the end of play to see redrawn lines shine through onto the present.
  • Requires 2D6, pens, 10 to 20 sheets of paper, 1 to 2 hours to play.

Its touchstones include Avery Alder’s The Quiet Year, Everest Pipkin’s zine-game The Ground Itself and Iman Tajik’s project Bordered Miles.

These are from a very limited run of signed copies. Comes with the accompanying zine: On Common Riding.

Shipping

I use Royal Mail to ship all books both domestically and internationally. Shipping is real expensive these days but I've kept my margins as low as possible and grouped the shipping costs in weight increments of 250g to hopefully make it as fair as possible!

  • Within the UK: £4.50
  • Within the EU: starting at £6
  • Within the US: starting at £8
  • The rest of the world: starting at £7.5

I drop all parcels off with Royal Mail once a week on a Friday. Domestic parcels arrive within 1-2 business days, all other parcels arrive within 4-5 business days after being dropped off with Royal Mail.

Digital copies of all applicable products will be automatically emailed to you after checkout. Shoot us an email to store@peregrinecoast.press if you have any issues claiming your PDFs. 

I also collect taxes at checkout, so EU folks will have their packages sent duties paid. This means faster and cheaper delivery :)

This is part of the IOSS scheme. You'll see VAT-included prices on the shop (in EUR), I'll collect that VAT from you at checkout and remit it to your tax authority.
