Less Is Not More;
A game of privacy
In collaboration with Game designer, Faezeh Khomeyrani from RBBGames, a game based on Master's Thesis, Explicating Privacy was designed.
Less Is Not More is a game that aims to bring awareness to people regarding their lack of privacy in our current time and to familiarize people with different tools that may reinstate their lost privacy.

Data is power and everyone’s trying to steal it! This game is a quest for designing the most private space while protecting your data against all invasions.
Each player, being in possession of a naked character card, has to attempt in covering their character and their private items with the help of Data Tokens. To do so, payers need to collect privacy cards that award them with Data Tokens. In contrast, the Invasion Cards can remove a token from the characters, threatening their privacy.
In a battle between using different elements that promise us a fraction of privacy and the systems that find their way into our private realm to reduce our private state, the winner is the one who manages to create the best private space, making use of privacy cards to address the type of privacy invasion that the Invasion Card represents.
