Civilization: A New Dawn brings the empire-building video game to your dinner table
Civilization: A New Dawn 2-4 players, 60-120 mins, ages 14+, £49.99 For more than 25 years, the Civilization video game series has offered players the chance to play armchair dictator, discovering new lands, shaping nascent cultures and engaging in subtle diplomacy. Or, if it’s more your cup of tea, engulfing your enemies in nuclear fire. Now, the revered empire-builder has had a board-game makeover, bringing its sweeping strategy to your living room table. Like its digital predecessors, Civilization: A New Dawn casts players as rulers attempting to turn their small, scattered tribes into globe-spanning empires. But it’s striking how boldly the game departs from almost everything long-time fans might expect. There’s no painstaking city management or early-game exploration of uncharted territory.

The first victim of the volcano disaster on a New Zealand tourist island has today been named as tour guide Hayden Marshall-Inman.

Rikers 2.0: inside the battle to build four new prisons in New York City
On clear days, Kevin Steele would peek through the cracked window of his six-by-eight foot solitary confinement cell on Rikers Island to get a glimpse of his Bronx neighbourhood and mentally escape. Steele was just 17 years old in June 2010 when he was brought to Rikers Island, arguably America’s most notorious prison and the nation’s largest penal colony. He had been arrested for his involvement in a fight and had no means to pay an assigned $85,000 bail. He spent three years at Rikers awaiting trial, 13 months of that in solitary confinement. “The conditions I faced on Rikers were really horrendous,” says Steele. “Looking out of that window was my way to survive.” Steele is today an activist with No New Jails NYC, a grassroots prison abolitionist group formed last year that has become a major player in the campaign to close Rikers. The group has mobilised New Yorkers – including influential Democratic congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez … [Read more...] about Rikers 2.0: inside the battle to build four new prisons in New York City
