MessageLuck, diplomacy, strategy and fair play are all aspects of games. In Border Games there are no deals, no negotiations or regard for consequences like flooding, migration disruption and loss of habitat. The setting is the National Butterfly Center, a privately-owned parcel of land that has been restored to a wild life nature preserve over the past 2 decades.
The goal is to build a wall to block migration by any means necessary: misappropriating or reallocating funds, rolling back environmental laws including the Endangered Species Act, the National Environmental Policy Act, the Clean Air Act and Clean Water Act, or using imminent domain to allow border patrol agents equipped with stakes, chainsaws and bulldozers to access private land without permission.
