Billionaires and Guillotines: Max Haiven, Meghna Jayanth, Danny Dorling
had the most excellent discussion with @maxhaiven.bsky.social & @dannydorling.bsky.social a few weekends ago about max's fantastically raucous boardgame billionaires + guillotines (being kickstarted now!), whether video games can be anti-fascist & play as a radical force

Radical Gaming
A new left-wing board game puts players in the role of maniacal plutocrats trying to take over the world. Its creator explains how it responds to the wider phenomenon of ‘gamified capitalism’.
as part of my current "speculative economies" residency at au JUS in Brussels, @maxhaiven.bsky.social will be visiting 28/29 Apr. We'll be launching his new anticapitalist boardgame and going into conversation on gamification, fascism, and the endless Crusade.

Games Transformed organisers playing Billionaires and Guillotines. They are drunk.
Games Transformed THOROUGHLY ENDORSES Billionaires and Guillotines, the new game from @maxhaiven.bsky.social & @plutopress.bsky.social!
We were forced to introduce a house rule to legalise the copious amounts of cheating at our table and Max has promised it will make it into the game at release 😎
