"Settle Where You Are" is a topical tabletop game about homelessness in Taipei. We aim to visually showcase aspects such as living conditions, job opportunities, experiences of vagrancy, and welfare policies to the public through this format.

"Settle Where You Are" is a topical tabletop game centered around homelessness in Taipei.
When you open the game packaging, it mirrors the act of a homeless person unfolding a cardboard box to settle down. The map displays public spaces where homeless individuals reside, work, or eat in Taipei. Days spent wandering the streets are always filled with "destiny" and "opportunity" – perhaps being evicted by the police, or maybe receiving government aid. Each dropped "stone" (character token) carries its own story, whether it's hurtful, quiet, impaired, or elderly. We cannot deny that they are all striving to live in society.
