Season 3, PlayIssue 02

House Rules

A celebration of the game night table. The House Rules Issue shows a night in where the cards get shuffled, the dice get rolled, and an afternoon disappears without anyone checking the time. This is play with no screen and no scoreboard, where the rules matter far less than the company.

a living room game night, with cards mid-shuffle, dice tumbling, and pieces making their way around the board. It’s a puzzle, and it’s also the kind of page worth keeping after the puzzles are done.

Featured Artist for Season 3. Taylor's print-inspired scenes, with folk-art texture and confident color, turned Season 3's afternoons of play into small celebrations.
