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 youtu.be/W00vEhAcwgg?...

We'll be launching his new anticapitalist boardgame and going into conversation on gamification, fascism, and the endless Crusade. Read: tribunemag.co.uk/2025/04/radi...

“In this moment of capitalism, most of us feel that our chances of securing a good life are slim, no matter how dutifully we play by the rules.” @maxhaiven.bsky.social creator of Billionaires and Guillotines, for @tribunemagazine.bsky.social tribunemag.co.uk/2025/04/radi...

Very pleased to write for Tribune about games and the radical imagination in a moment of gamified capitalism (and its fascist nightmares), w. words about Billionaires & Guillotines, the game I've made with @plutopress.bsky.social which you can help us crowdfund now. tribunemag.co.uk/2025/04/radi...
