Never before in history have we had such a powerful class of billionaires wielding so much power over us. They affect everything from our politics to the number of cat videos we receive. They direct the talents of idealistic graduate students towards building stupid shit like killer drones and AI trading algorithms, and they suck up vast amounts of attention that could be directed towards far more beautiful things This is why no house should be without a copy of Billionaires and Guillotines, a new boardgame from my friend @maxhaiven kickstarter.com/projects/pluto…

Tuesday in Bruxelles, at Au JUS with @maxhaiven and @0x_salon

Billionaires and Guillotines is an excellent game - here's an action shot of the @Autonomy_Inst team playing it. (You can get a copy by supporting it here: kickstarter.com/projects/pluto…)

as part of my current "speculative economies" residency at au JUS in Brussels, @maxhaiven will be visiting next week on 28th and 29th. We'll be launching the game and going into conversation on gamification, fascism, and the endless Crusade.

“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 creator of Billionaires and Guillotines, for @tribunemagazine tribunemag.co.uk/2025/04/radica…

I wrote about the radical potential of games for @tribunemagazine

"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.

From our game Billionaires and Guillotines.

Let's quit this fascist platform and also play games that will surely piss off it's warlord and his disgusting rich fascist friends.

Let's quit this fascist platform and shoot its owner into the sun. But first, come to this event in London tomorrow.
