Mies Spiel

Mies Spiel (“Mies Game”) transforms Mies van der Rohe’s unbuilt Brick Country House into a dynamic two-player strategy board game. Rooted in Miesian design, it reimagines walls and division through a Mondrian-inspired kit of parts, featuring a grid, primary colors, and sliding walls. Players navigate the board, aiming to reach their opponent’s base and return while strategically placing barriers. Walls can only be placed on matching tiles, and progress is blocked until all barriers are deployed. Beyond strategy, Mies Spiel challenges players to rethink walls as tools of division and connection, generating ever-evolving architectural plans with each game.
