Experience life as a lower-limb amputee in Victorian London! Achieve your goals as you navigate the streets, negotiate the job market, find love, buy property, and use artificial legs. Will you prioritise making your riches in the Stock Exchange or achieving your personal goal at the Country Estate? You decide in Legless in London, a new role-and-move strategy board game inspired by Ryan Sweet's 2022 book Prosthetic Body Parts in Nineteenth-Century Literature and Culture. 

Legless in London is the result of a collaboration between Focus Games Ltd., Dr Ryan Sweet (Senior Lecturer in Humanities, Swansea University), and a focus group of members of the disabled community. You can find the trailer for the game on YouTube.

To celebrate the full launch of the game with the University community, staff and students are cordially invited to join Ryan and play Legless in London for free from 4-6pm on Tues 25th Feb in Taliesin Mall Room. Please do extend the invitation to friends across the University.

Complementary refreshments will also be provided.

This game was supported by the Arts and Humanities Research Council [AH/X00354X/1, AH/Z506485/1].
