You Can Now Play A "Business Techno" Board Game

The teams of the Polish Up To Date festival and the FOMO club have created a new board game called Business Techno: The Game.

Using a Monopoly-style structure that requires players to try and build a music empire by trading "technology properties", the game's creators hope to encourage dialogue about the dance music industry.

Cities featured in the game include Berlin, Ibiza, Dubai, Detroit, London and Białystok, the soon to be closed FOMO venue and festival in Poland. Each site contains different real-world locations, events, and links for each area.

Gamers use Techno Coins to pay for social media and followers, as well as to purchase content, ultimately earning Techno Influencer status.

The nerdy ad asks, "Want to party every weekend? Wanna sip champagne at 140 bpm and faster? Wanna be a veteran after party?"

He continued, "Stop being a room jockey, become a super producer. You don't need a guest list anymore. You'll never have to leave later."

"Think big. Go global. Be techno."

The people behind the board game have also announced that FOMO, their location in Bialystok, has been shut down. Their most recent event was over the weekend (November 26). In an Instagram post, they said, "From the beginning, FOMO has been a conceptual and artistic space built on a solid philosophical foundation. All of these words with which we began our wonderful journey together in 2020 are even more powerful and relevant." . . "

"FOMO is approaching its current form," they said. "Quality all the way."

Up To Date 2022 took place September 2-4 with artists including Chloé Robinson, Ceephax Acid Crew, Jerome Hill B2B Sunil Sharpe, LCY, Horse Meat Disco and Claudio PRC.
