April 16th-19th 2009, at Haraldvangen, Norway
Game: The School Trip ("Klassresan")
Description
This year we have invited Martin Svahn and Johan Nilsson from Frispel to write an official opening game for Knutepunkt! Everyone will get the chance to play this game in groups of 10 during the first evening of Knutepunkt. The School Trip is a game about a class reunion where 10 people from the old class meets 15 year after their last year at school. They meet to catch up on what has happened since they saw each other last. But as expected they have all changed substantially from whom they were as kids. However, they share the memory of a traumatic event which happened during a school trip to London 15 years ago. And this past event caches up with them in unexpected ways on this fateful day of the reunion.
Since this game will be played simultaneously by everyone at Knutepunkt it isn't necessary to sign up for this event.
