Billionaires & Guillotines: A board game by Max Haiven
Join us at Sybil to play Billionaires & Guillotines, the new board game by Max Haiven. At 7:00 PM we’ll start with a short introduction, and from 7:30 PM onward there will be casual games and conversation.
Join designer Max Haiven to learn how to play the board game Billionaires & Guillotines. It’s the billionaire simulator you and your friends have been waiting for!
In Billionaires & Guillotines, 2-5 players will take on the roles of rival plutocrats, competing to accumulate the wealth of the world before their actions trigger a revolution and they all lose… a lot more than their assets.
Will you play the media baron or the property speculator? The aristocrat or the tech overlord? Whoever you play, the aim is to acquire five extravagant assets prized by the super-rich (a mega yacht, a celebrity spouse, art masterpieces and more!) and prevent your opponents from achieving their dreams. But watch out! As you gobble up ever more resources, crises cascade out of control: wildfires and floods, pandemics and doomsday cults… Will you collaborate to put down the rebellions, or escape into your luxury bunker?
Played in under 90-minutes, the game is fun for all sorts of players, even those who usually don’t like board games.
The event is free.
