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 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. and Dr Ryan Sweet (Senior Lecturer in Humanities, Swansea University), and a focus group of members of the disabled community.

Disability and disability history are underrepresented in culture—and especially in tabletop gaming. Many mainstream tabletop games also present accessibility problems for disabled players (for example, wordy and/or complex rules, which can be troublesome for neurodivergent users). Legless in London addresses both representational and accessibility concerns as it provides a balanced, researched-informed, positive, and fun portrayal of disability in an inclusive format.

To celebrate the full launch of the game, please join the game developers at Common Meeple (77 St Helen’s Road, Swansea, SA1 4BG) from 7pm on Wednesday 26/02/2025 to play Legless in London for free! Complementary refreshments will also be provided.

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