The Game of Circles

The Game of Circles invites players to experience the transformative values of Universal Basic Income, while navigating life in a Balinese village setting. With limited access to cash, players collaborate to build a community-driven initiative that fulfills basic needs. Using a combination of Indonesian Rupiah and Circles Universal Basic Income points players move around the community into dedicated exchange zones where resources can be exchanged based on vendor and recipient agreements. Through mutual support and negotiation needs such as food, education, utilities, health services and more can be fullfilled.

The Game of Circles teaches the principles of alternative community currencies, mutual support, and the value of UBI in addressing living needs and essentials like food, education, and healthcare. This table top version of the game is suitable for educational environments and group play with smaller groups, fostering understanding of mutually supportive economic alternatives and community resilience.

The Game of Circles also comes in a giant version that is great for family, community and classroom fun. If you want to explore further into the principles of community resilience make sure to check out our Filantropoli game, an immersive, collaborative game of sustainable community development and disaster management.
