Description:	Bloqs is a group stacking game with questions, the culmination of a project designed to build communication and strengthen relationships between incarcerated fathers and their children. In a time of rising prison population, deteriorating conditions and health, and the host of problems which feed into loops of deprivation and crime. Extending the category of Social Games, Bloqs was inspired by Captivated, a project South Denmark University’s Social Games Against Crime team which sought to tackle the same issue of parental alienation in prison.
