World of Burgers (WOB) is a board game in which players navigate forces of global labor and macroeconomics using the infamous Big Mac. Inspired by global minimum wage policies and burgernomics–which uses the Big Mac as a price benchmark to illustrate the concept of purchasing power parity–WOB takes cues from Monopoly and places restrictions on players based on real–world concepts like economic inflation and labor violations. A player can win the game by understanding different relationships between labor and time, as determined by the conditions created by globalization.
