The new Game of the Economy of the Commons

We introduce to you the new Game of the Economy of the Commons, a card game that allows to understand, in a playful way, the dynamics of this economy which puts the focus on the “sharing” instead of in the transaction and profit-making. This economy is different from that of the market and is articulated around a communal resource and the community that produces it and benefits from it.

Everyone is a winner! In the game, each player chooses a card which will be the project to be made sustainable, from a commons approach, finding out how to co-produce it, what resources to use, how to share it and how to co-govern it. The game finishes when all resources have managed to be sustainable, so no player can win on its own.

The game is currenlty a prototype, and we are still working on it from the Cooperative femProcomuns It was first released at the Barcelona Youth Employment Hall, ??in March 2018. Watch the video:
