    Class Fantasy Game: Introduction

    Class Fantasy Game: Introduction

    Get the game: https://joshuacitarella.metalabel.com/class-fantasy

    Class Fantasy is an action RPG card game that pairs fantasy character classes with political ideologies. Your goal is to defeat other players in battle and achieve utopia.

    Inspired by games like Dungeons & Dragons, Magic: The Gathering and World of Warcraft, Class Fantasy explores the essential role playing and world building process that links the game space and the real world.

    Finally, a game that unites the whole political spectrum (and family) by forcing them into irreconcilable conflict.

Fresh Air

Not being hyperbolic when I say that this is the best podcast I’ve listened to that explores the contemporary intersection of art, culture and politics. If you are, like me, an artist and someone who identifies with left politics but feels alienated by the glibness and naïveté of much of today’s left’s axioms (and the often blatant disinterest in actual working class concerns), you’re likely to find Citarella’s work and insights vindicating and totally addictive.
