In the rapidly deteriorating Athens centre, players are assigned life-roles; Immersed in an urban environment of economic recession, illegality, city-phobia & rising violence the Athenians (Greeks and immigrants, shop owners, unemployed, land owners, investors, inhabitants, entrepreneurs, intellectuals, etc.) enter into an agonising and agonistic STRUGGLE to reset the city’s human, physical and natural resources. The players keep reflecting and ACTING UPON ‘REAL’ CITY CONDITIONS, and watch the outcome of their decisions unfold on the game board. The Athenians of the Polypolis social game STAND UP TO THE CHALLENGE of the crisis and have the power to TRANSFORM the materiality of their city.BE ONE OF THEM!
