Event description
The Exploratorium and California College of the Arts are pleased to present, Bartertown. An evening playing a life-sized version of Bartertown, a board game on climate change and social resilience, with game designer Janette Kim of CCA’s Urban Works Agency.
Immerse yourself in the struggles of Bartertown, a game and fictional land that asks how new networks of care and sociability can emerge in a world without money. This event stages Bartertown as a human-scale board game, in which players must brave disasters such as climate change, a stock market crash or even a divorce. Players exchange favors and resources to survive, using unique ‘powers’ that trade in alternate forms of currency: property, inventiveness, mobility, generosity and influence. Whether they win or lose, dominate or inspire, players will explore unexpected ways to strategize, negotiate, and reshape both the city and the home through a new economy of favors and resource-sharing.
Please RSVP via Eventbrite and choose whether you will watch or play (with a limit of 10 players).Entry details
