Resources collated below signature. Happy to discuss them some time, if interested :-) Warm regards, Rok - *Game-Changers: The Game* a mixed digital and analogue generative board game and platform (description after list) - *Four Futures Festival + online Anticipedia* open-sourcing co-generated futures scenarios and scenario fragments to be creatively combined, and enacted as LARPs - *A Day in the Life: Public Luxury in 2035 <https://drive.google.com/file/d/1OIU-qQFvKc6ORaW9QBGyd6N_gd59N7S-/view?usp=sharing>* made and used to facilitate an exchange between local climate activists and George Monbiot, pdf worksheet attached - *Shared Futures <https://sharedfutures.app/> app and toolkit <https://sharedfutures.net/divistownsend/> *a work in progress, collaboration with dr. Peter Bloom - *Our Futures Game* <https://www.nesta.org.uk/feature/our-futures/> in collaboration with the Global Swarm <https://actionforesight.net/global-swarm/> and NESTA (recent Space Edition here <https://www.eventbrite.com/e/our-futures-a-game-about-participatory-futures-space-futures-edition-registration-121316158897> ) --- 𝐆𝐚𝐦𝐞-𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐫𝐬: 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐆𝐚𝐦𝐞 by RoK Kranjc FREE OF CHARGE / No special knowledge or skills required, however for PLAYERS critical thinking and knowledge about alternative economies will be an advantage Game-Changers: The Game is a project twining alternatives to capitalism, theories of transformation, participatory futuring techniques and the codesign of generative games – digital, real-world and hybrid – as sites, platforms and protocols of and for transformative knowledge, design and foresight commoning. It is at once a story-telling board game and a game codesign springboard, created to engage player-designers in conversations about the various discourses underlying emerging »new economy« signifiers, such as sharing, smart, circular and collaborative. To advance in and ultimately win the game, two teams embodying seemingly diametrically opposite discursive poles – e.g. Commonism vs. Capitalism / Degrowth vs. Green Growth – compete in creating compelling social and sustainability transformation storylines in order to secure primacy over playing fields, consisting of real-world initiatives, proposals or ideas. Players shape these storylines by combining Challenge and Intervention cards (pre-made and impromptu-made) within distinct playing fields, while JUDGES assess these stories for their “Plausibility” and “Inventiveness”. The game operationalizes transition theories such as cooptation and Trojan horses as mechanics, and includes Wildcards, i.e. chance “external” events which may hold benefits for either team or in other ways alter the game’s dynamics. Participants in this workshop will get the chance to learn about new directions in futures game design and try out Game-Changers: The Game, developed over a dozen playtests around Europe at venues ranging from conferences, summer schools to research institutes and activist meetings.
