'One of those rare games that are both hilariously fun and politically smart' - Matteo Menapace, co-creator of Daybreak
In the board game Billionaires & Guillotines, players take on the roles of plutocrats scrambling to accumulate the world's wealth before their greed triggers a fatal revolution. With the Reform or Revolution? expansion pack, players can add two new elements to the game, and add a sixth player, too.
With the Space Program add-on, the billionaires can collectively contribute to the glorious enterprise of sending humanity to the stars, the richest 0.00001% of humanity to be precise. But there are dire risks, and not enough penthouses on the rocket for everyone.
With the Troublemakers add-on, one player will put aside their quest for wealth and power and, instead, throw in their lot with the people. But are they, as they claim, a well-meaning reformist whose goal is to fix the crises the billionaires are creating? Or are they secretly a nefarious revolutionary trying to bring down the tyranny of the super-rich? Only they know!
You will need a copy of the Billionaires & Guillotines game to play this expansion.
