"Billionaires & Guillotines" London board game launch

In the new board game Billionaires and Guillotines, 2-5 players take on the roles of rival plutocrats competing to gobble up the wealth of the world before their actions trigger a revolution and they all lose… a lot more than their assets.

The evening will begin with a panel, including:

• Danny Dorling, Oxford geography professor and bestselling author of books including Seven Children: Inequality and Britain's Next Generation and Peak Injustice: Solving Britain’s Inequality Crisis
• Meg Jayanth, award-winning narrative and game designer whose credits include 80 Days, Sunless Sea and Horizon Zero Dawn.
• Max Haiven, Canada Research Chair in the Radical Imagination, writer of books including Palm Oil: The Grease of Empire and Revenge Capitalism: The Ghosts of Empire, the Demons of Capital, and the Settling of Unpayable Debts.

The panel will be recorded and feature as part of The Exploits of Play, a podcast Haiven produces for the Weird Economies Platform. This event also celebrates the launch of the podcast’s second season: “Against the Fascist Game”

After the panel, join us for drinks and discussion, or to play copies of Billionaires and Guillotines.
