"We live in a gamified world run by oligarchs, who fix the games we play so they always win. But with Billionaires & Guillotines we finally get a chance to take our revenge.” My endorsement of @maxhaiven's excellent new game.
We're trialing a new game at the Nelson People's Assembly in Pendle Rise shopping centre tomorrow (Saturday Feb 1st) at 4pm. Come along and try it out.
We live in a world saturated by games and gamified activity. Games are the form of cultural activity native to Platform Capitalism. This means counter games are a necessary part of escaping from it. My article for @RedPeppermag explains how.

I was honored to be part of this panel about demilitarizing video games with these brilliant folks. Make sure to check out @GameAssistYT for insightful video essays on gaming.
I’ve got an essay in the latest issue of @RedPeppermag on how life has become gamified under platform capitalism and why games that we design and control will play a part in our escape.
@KeirMilburn, Red Plenty Games and I will be steering multiple teams working to produce different storylines with decision trees and plotlines using Twine.
On the Sunday, the teams will showcase their creations, allowing attendees to play through them..
