Game Theory

This Week in Dystopia

Despite the persistent threat of video game domination, board games are still here and gaining popularity. And people aren't just dusting off their boxes of Monopoly and Life. New games are pushing the boundaries of how fun, engagement, and empathy intersect.

Questions around how social justice and gaming can intersect are answered, and of course, D&D is mentioned.
