Home Ground Games
Small, characterful strategy games about local pride, civic rivalry and the long odds of glory. Pick a side. Play the long game.
Take charge of a London borough and climb the league, building and blundering your way to civic supremacy.
Take an Irish county to the top over eight years — grand plans, tight budgets, and neighbours with notions of their own.
Pick a nation — favourites or 1000/1 no-hopers — and make the forty calls that decide a World Cup.
Home Ground Games makes quick, browser-based strategy games built around real places — a London borough, an Irish county, a nation at a World Cup. You take charge, make a run of decisions, and find out whether your instincts were any good. No installs, no sign-up, and each game is designed to be finished in a single sitting.
They run on judgement rather than reflexes. You build things, weigh events, take the odd gamble, and read between the lines of the reports that come back — then live with the consequences, some of which arrive years later. When you finish, you'll see how your run ranked against everyone else who led the same place.
