About the event
Help shape the next iteration of a fast-paced, cooperative tabletop game that explores digital rights, data ethics, and collective resistance.
rootoftwo invites the community to playtest 463NCY (agency), a game set in a richly imagined near-future, where privacy is a valuable commodity. Players become cybernetically enhanced residents working together to disrupt surveillance networks, escort whistleblowers, and outmaneuver escalating waves of corporate security known as PIGS (Private Information Grid Security). The game board is a multi-layered, cyberpunk cityscape, and the format is hands-on and accessible. Game sessions are 90 min - 2hrs and will run regularly on Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays, welcoming both seasoned players and curious newcomers. Playtests are open to 6 people on a first come first serve basis. They are free. RSVP required.
