About the Event
Join us for an evening of high-stakes play and sharp political commentary! You’re invited to a special game night featuring Billionaires & Guillotines where we’ll be joined by the game’s designer, Max Haiven.
This is your chance to play, strategize, and engage in lively discussion with the designer of the game himself. No prior experience is needed; just bring your devious self and a good dose of dark humour.
About the Game
Billionaires & Guillotines is a fast-paced board game for 2-5 players who act as rival plutocrats, from tech overlords to media barons, racing to amass luxury assets before triggering a global revolution. Players navigate crises like natural disasters and pandemics, deciding whether to collaborate, escape to luxury bunkers, or sabotage rivals. Accessible to gamers and non-gamers alike, the game is a delight both for board game enthusiasts and anti-capitalists.
