Game Changers - the game

coffee, cakes and a game that changes the game 
 

What it’s about:

A storytelling board game fostering discussions on post-capitalist strategies and new economic concepts, where teams representing opposing ideologies compete to create compelling storylines. The audience evaluates the stories and contribute prompts, making the game a dynamic, knowledge-building tool.

The strategy game of system change.

The Game is a storytelling-driven board game and a game co-design springboard that engages players and “peerticipants” in generative discussions about post-capitalist strategies and the mutually conflicting discourses that underlie the “new economy” buzzwords of the day, such as sharing, smart, circular, collaborative, regenerative and many others.

In the game, two teams that embody seemingly opposite discursive poles – for example Commonism vs. Capitalism, Green Growth vs. Degrowth, or the Hacker Class vs. Vectoralists – compete in creating compelling storylines about transformation in order to lay claim to playing fields consisting of real-world initiatives and related ideas.

Audiences (participants) evaluate the players’ storylines in real time and, in doing so, affect their chance of success. They may also submit new prompt cards (Challenges, Interventions or Wildcards), which get fed into the game while it is being played. Thus, the game is or becomes a modular and generative knowledge commoning tool, both on-site and accross its many playthroughs.
