Extractor

Door: Simon Denny

“One game master, five players.
Reinventing the classic Australian sheep-farming game ‘Squatter’, Extractor is a dystopian board game that maps the possible dynamics of global data-driven businesses or platforms as they compete for world domination. Extractor highlights the upheaval in the form of a board game that asks players to adopt the corporate goals and strategies behind this marketplace. By building their own centralised data platform in Extractor, the visitors/players will reveal the mechanisms underlying digital capitalism.”
