Description

A famine-inspired board game has raised over 13,000 euros to get developed.  “The Great Hunger” invites players to build homes and families across Ireland before the “Great Blight” hits. The player with the largest surviving population is the winner.  

 We get reaction to this game with Nathan Mannion, Head of Exhibitions and Programme at EPIC, The Irish Emigration Museum.
