Getting to Powerhouse Castle Hill

Build your own deck of playable museum cards inspired by the Powerhouse Collection in this workshop for learners aged 7–9, led by game designer Phil Walker-Harding.

Learners will search for Powerhouse Collection objects that spark their imagination to design their own card collection while learning the basics of card game mechanics.

Share your favourite objects and uncover their stories with friends and family as you continue playing your card game at home.
