I tried to find out more about this game but evidently it is a private game rather than something one can acquire. I wonder if some player leaked a photo of the "rules of play" or whatever. It almost reads like it could be satire but perhaps there are cabals of game developers catering to the whims of the ultra-rich. Just interesting to see how games can be used by those in power not to pretend to have power when they have none but to enjoy gaming out ways to wield it.
"those in power not to pretend to have power when they have none"
That doesn't describe the Mercers at all (billionaires who arguably played a large role in 2016 US election results, Brexit by being primary backers of Cambridge Analytica and Breitbart).
That title is awful. It's a game that isn't Monopoly, so of course it doesn't have a get out of jail free card?
As it turns out, that's not the original title anyway. "This article appears in the print edition of the July 2, 2018, issue, with the headline “Rules of Play.”"
I care, it's useful to gain insights into the lives of the extremely powerful and politically inclined and see where their thoughts are going; for example seeing that "predictive policing" is a theme they felt important enough to include in their politics larping is something I found interesting.
