Today’s Success is Tomorrow’s Disaster is a board game aiming to demystify intensive animal agriculture's complexity by revealing moral and man-made environmental disasters (climate change, extinction, epidemics.. etc.). Two capitalist players (agriculture minister & farm owner) strive to improve and maintain the economic growth of the livestock sector, and two activists (animal and environmental activists) investigate to sabotage the farm industry by revealing incriminating evidence of the endless exploitation. The game allows us to deconstruct processes and understand positions, dynamics, and hidden relationships. It is a fact-based but speculative role-playing board game. The board game is not meant to give you solutions; it is a map to understand the dynamics of the hopeless exploitation of both non-human
and human bodies.
