Commonspoly
A board game that encourages collaboration. The goal is to convert private goods into public assets. You cannot win by obstructing other players or hoarding resources; you only win when playing as a collective with a shared goal.
Goal
The game is an educational tool that helps people envision a society based on solidarity, giving and working together. By having people use the game we hope to build a network of educators and critical thinkers on the topics of commons and alternative sustainable socio-economic systems.
