Consumption

Authored by Brendan Butts and Caro Murphy

Consumption is a game about celebrity, isolation, and complicated relationships. 

This game takes place in a hyper-consumerist dark mirror of our world in 2039. Players will take on the role of archetypical influencer personalities in the categories of: style, fitness, parenting, spiritual, and entrepreneurship. All characters are designed to be any gender the player would like to portray. 

The game takes place over ~4 hours in total: 90 minutes of workshop and onboarding, 2 hours of gameplay, and 30 minutes of debrief.

Dinner is an essential part of this experience and food needs and preferences must be collected. Eating and (where possible, sharing) food is critical to the full enjoyment of the experience. Players who are not interested in this aspect of the game are encouraged to look elsewhere.

For five players and two facilitators (but can be done with one facilitator changing roles).
