FRAMEWORK is a reality survival simulation card game inspired by Pierre Bourdieu's Theory of Capital. By transforming money, reputation, knowledge, and the soul into playable resources, the game satirises the gamification of everyday life and invites players to critically reflect on how social systems shape individual behaviour. Through strategic gameplay and ironic mechanics, it operates as a participatory social metaphor rather than a conventional board game.
