Billionaires & Guillotines

n the board game Billionaires & Guillotines, 2-5 players will take on the roles of rival plutocrats, competing to accumulate the wealth of the world before their actions trigger a revolution and they all lose… a lot more than their assets.

Will you play the media baron or the property speculator? The aristocrat or the tech overlord? Whoever you play, the aim is to acquire five extravagant assets prized by the super-rich (a mega yacht, a celebrity spouse, art masterpieces and more!) and prevent your opponents from achieving their dreams.

But watch out! As you gobble up ever more resources, crises cascade out of control: wildfires and floods, pandemics and doomsday cults… Will you collaborate to put down the rebellions, or escape into your luxury bunker?

Played in under 90-minutes, the game is fun for all sorts of players, even those who usually don’t like board games. Why not make it a gift for the game-lover or billionaire-loather in your life?

And why not buy it alongside the first expansion, Reform or Revolution?, available now.

Billionaires & Guillotines is designed by Max Haiven with art by Amanda Priebe and published by London’s Pluto Press.
