How can a board game become a political tool, not through fiction, but through its own rules?
Johan Eriksson, author of Oceania 2084 — winner of the 2025 RPG Magnifico Award and guest of honour at Play 2026—leads us in an open conversation on the relationship between game mechanics and political intent: how design choices can embody — and not merely narrate — a message, a worldview, a system of values.
After a brief introduction to the Oceania 2084 system to familiarise those who are not yet familiar with it, Johan will answer questions from members of the RPG Magnifico Award jury and the audience.
