We live in one of the most absurdly depressing economies and governments in our lifetimes. While working class New Yorkers get pushed out of their jobs and homes, New York City has become a playground for the ultra-wealthy; it’s about time the rest of us got a chance to play.
Every game is themed around a specific topic of frustration:
Unemployment,
Class Divide,
Unhealthy Celebrity Culture,
Education,
Healthcare,
Gentrification,
Rising Rent Prices,
Immigration, and
Paid-Off Politicians
Upon entering the carnival, you spin a wheel that determines how many tokens you get to play with. Some people get an abundance of tokens (IE, born into wealth) and get to play all the games, while some people get next to nothing (born into the working class) and have to watch as those luckier than them get to have all the fun.
