Dominik Diamond reflects on his family’s final games night before its members move into separate homes, ending two decades of living together. Despite frequent conflict, illness and mental-health difficulties, video games have provided a shared space for humour, conversation and reconciliation, making the occasion emotionally significant.

He chooses Quiplash, a phone-controlled comedy party game that has become central to the family’s running jokes and his children’s sense of humour. His attempt to enforce correct spelling is mocked, he finishes last, and tensions from his children’s shared workplace emerge during the game, illustrating both the family’s fractures and their enduring closeness.
