Making games that take ideas seriously.
An association of developers, writers, artists and players making games from a materialist reading of history.
Marxist Games brings together creation, historical research and political discussion. We begin from a simple premise: social classes exist, their interests conflict, and games can make these relations tangible without sacrificing play.
This site is our public workshop: a place for games, development notes, analysis and custom commissions.
