“I was filming video of my road trip with my Meta Oakleys and all of a sudden I’m seeing the POV of someone throwing up their first beer in the bathroom of a New England prep school—it’s a good thing I wasn’t driving at the time or it could have been dangerous,” said user Melanie Henderson

I’ve been running a fictional governance board account on X for a fake meme coin I created as part of the lore for a board game about modern economic chaos. It is still staggering to me that billions of real dollars flow through these markets. And that the president currently has 2 tradable coins.

This book is my new obsession. It’s about immigrant pathways and the American cultures they shaped. I’ve lived in 5 of the 11 “American Nations.” and it’s fascinating to read my lived experience as a history lesson. #americanhistory

The board game about what the modern economy feels like for most of us. Coming to Kickstarter soon. Www.pidggame.com/kickstarter #indiegame #boardgame #tabletopgames #economics

I invited 4 new players to compete for a cash prize in a game about the rigged system. Here’s how it went.

I have a dream, and I need help figuring out how to make it real. I’m dreaming of seeing a group of economists play my satirical board game about modern economic chaos. Long shot but throwing it out there. Anyone have ideas? #economics #economyprofessor #indiegame

I did not realize how off putting a northern with good intentions was until I moved to the south. - Confessions of a northerner.

This is what the modern economy feels like…if it were fun. Kickstarter launching in June. Join the prelaunch to get notified of the launch! #boardgame #maker #indiegames

Sometimes it feels good to laugh at the things that scare you. If you doomscrolled your way through 2025, you're going to understand all the references. Somebody should make a board game about that. Me. I did. #boardgame #indiegame #PIDG

It's for the people bothered by the fact that the president has a meme coin. In PIDG, the meme coin is PIDGY Coin. First player to collect enough wins — unless the Economy Collapses. It's rigged. Let's play. #boardgame #indiegame #PIDG

Real footage from a family playtest. PIDG has been playtested by ages 14-88. Kickstarter is coming in June. Sign up for the prelaunch to get notified. Pidggame.com/kickstarter

It is already being played in bars. Already generating laughs. I need about 500 people on the pre-launch page before I feel confident enough to launch. If you or someone you know needs to blow off some steam about the economy — link in bio. #boardgame #indiegame #PIDG

I invented a game about modern economics to play with my conservative family. If you want to play with yours, Kickstarter is coming in June.

POV: one away from winning a game about economic collapse and grandma’s money isle literally in your way. 😭 PIDG is launching on Kickstarter in June. #boardgames #tabletopgames #indiegames #boardgamenight

I made this game because I was weary of the game being foisted upon us. A board game about it needs to exist. It just needs to exist. No one should go through dystopia alone. pidggame.com/kickstarter #boardgame #economicsatire

If the internet becomes the botiverse, where are we all going? I mean I love the farmers market, but… It doesn’t seem sustainable.

If you’re in the mood to support an indie project, here’s a game about right now. Pidggame.com/kickstarter #indiegame #boardgame #maker #dystopia

PIDG: Predictive Intelligence & Data Governance is the board game about right now. I thought we needed one. Kickstarter coming in June. #boardgames #indiegame #economicsatire #PIDG

I got obsessed with the idea of the economy as a game last year.

The world is moving fast. It was one year ago today that Trump launched his meme coin, and I got so mad I shut myself in my office to make a satirical board game about it. I was determined to document it before it was lost. Www.pidggame.com

I cried a lot while I was making PIDG. But after this week, I don’t think I made it dark enough.

Games have rules. Rules can be changed. We don’t have to keep playing this game, with these rules.

This is the board game I made when I got really frustrated that the economy was starting to feel like a joke. Presidential meme coins. A government agency named after a meme coin. People betting on everything…The game is called PIDG. It’s part map of the system, part therapeutic fun.

NEW: The DOJ says it has “uncovered” over a million new Epstein documents.

I have a few prototype copies of my board game about late-stage capitalism I’ve been sending around. It’s called PIDG. I started making it after I saw the president launch a meme coin. If you’re interested in checking out, please get in touch. I’d love to send you a borrower copy. Www.pidggame.com

What if the joke of the modern economy, became a game you could play? youtube.com/shorts/LgJcn...

Elon Musk is saying there is no need to save money because we will have universal high income. Thats one of two game ending options in PIDG. If I designed it correctly, it should get triggered in about 10% of games.

I’m doing the social media circuit everyday now that I’m marketing, and…what is actually going on on X? Elon is a non stop white nationalist megaphone. It’s scary, and I’m tired.

This is so funny and dark it could be a PIDG card.

Finally made a quick look at the board game I’ve been building: a miniature model of the systems we live inside. It’s satire, but it’s also… not.

The Biscuit is PIDG’s newspaper. All the headlines are card titles that have in game effects.

When I was designing PIDG, I thought a lot about what side hustles to include on the board. In the end, I chose white collar side hustles because that’s the scam I know.

PIDG is a satirical strategy game about modern economics. The Biscuit is PIDG’s in world newspaper.

DOGE may be shutting down. But it won’t be forgotten. #doge #boardgame www.pidggame.com/kickstarter

I agree with this. It’s why I immortalized the whole thing as a dice rolling strategy game called PIDG. Pidggame.com

I’ve been building in silence for a very long time. My speaking voice is a bit creaky, but gosh it’s fun to be back in the mix. “Hello.” 👋

Trying to find ways around TikTok’s political filters. I happened to have this block of cheese and some dog hair…

PIDG is heading out into the wild today. It’s a strange feeling to send it out after a year alone with the work. #boardgames #gamedesigner #indiecreator

In PIDG you start with a day job, add a side hustle, try to save for a business and hope you don’t burn out. It’s rigged. Let’s play! pidggame.com/kickstarter #boardgames #billionairegames

You know that feeling when you wake up and see that president of the United States has launched a meme coin? And then you kind of freak out about the economy? I made a board game about that. Check it out at pidggame.com/kickstarter #boardgames #trumpcoin

It’s been 9 months since the idea for PIDG infected me. In that time I built a game with mechanics that mirror real economics. I’ve sat alone in my office struggling with balance, and art, and meaning. Now I have to open the office door and share it with the world. Not an easy transition!

I didn’t intend to make a board game. It isn’t my usual medium. But the story of a meme that became a coin that became a national agency really seemed to want to be a dice rolling strategy game. So I made it one. Find PIDG on Kickstarter. pidggame.com/kickstarter

"Game designers will routinely fail at making something fun. When the game of making games is played right, it is always right outside the edge of what the designers know how to do." Incredible quote from an amazing article. Something I'm only beginning to understand 10+ years in to designing.

What started as a way for me to work out my angst about the current system, evolved into an entire game. It was the most creatively intense thing I’ve ever done.

PIDG started as a joke. A catharsis. A way to externalize and visualize the system I felt trapped in.

I've spent the last year working on this board game about late-stage capitalism, and I can finally show it. It's called PIDG: Predictive Intelligence & Data Governance. It's a dark, funny strategy board game about meme coins, economic absurdity, and political theater. pidggame.com/kickstarter
